This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel Brooks in The Producers and the enigmatic title role in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in movies like Silver Streak and more. The film features a bevy of touching and hilarious clips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, and narration from Wilder’s audiobook memoir, including interviews with brilliant friends and collaborators like Mel Brooks and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene Wilder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director and all-around mensch.

Director: Ron Frank | USA | 2024 | 92 minutes
Featuring: Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, Carol Kane
