SOLD OUT!
Don't miss your chance to see "My Winnipeg" at an in-person pre-screening discussion with director Guy Maddin, hosted by Don McKellar.
The geographical centre of North America and the birthplace of director Guy Maddin, Winnipeg is the frosty and mysterious star of this (self-described) “docu-fantasia.” A hypnotic love letter to his hometown, equal parts historical chronicle and personal portrait, seamlessly weaving real facts with wild fiction.
What is real and what is fantasy is left up to the viewer to sort out, but don’t be fooled by Maddin’s fantastical approach — some of the most shocking stories in "My Winnipeg" are the true ones! Shot in Maddin’s signature black-and-white style and narrated by the director, the film is funny, touching, and mesmerizing.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching a Guy Maddin film, this delightfully strange ode to a surprisingly fascinating Canadian city is a great place to start.
