Benjamin Wilson is a journalist and producer. He spent his childhood in Australia watching game shows and reruns of Bewitched with his grandmother and John Wayne westerns with his grandfather — an early obsession with film and television that has never quite left him.
After producing documentary content for SBS in Sydney, he moved to London and launched The Cinema Show, a weekly radio programme for Monocle and MUBI. The series featured some of the world’s leading filmmakers and performers, among them Sam Mendes, Rupert Everett, Imelda Staunton, Robert Zemeckis and Brian Cox.
Alongside his broadcasting work, Benjamin has contributed to several volumes in the Monocle Travel Guide series, published by Gestalten. His favourite films are All That Heaven Allows (Douglas Sirk, 1955), Sunset Blvd. (Billy Wilder, 1950), Touch of Evil (Orson Welles, 1958) and Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960). He lives in east London with his husband.
