Tickets: Free
Director: Guy Maddin Roger Ebert named MY WINNIPEG the tenth best film of the decade In 2015, the Toronto International Film Festival placed MY WINNIPEG in the Top 10 Canadian Films of All Time Toronto Film Critics Association Best Canadian Film With MY WINNIPEG, iconoclastic filmmaker Guy Maddin continues in the freewheeling, genre-bending tradition that has made him one of Canada’s most consistently intriguing and internationally respected artists. MY WINNIPEG is a documentary (or docu-fantasia, as he describes it) about his hometown. Equal parts mystical rumination and personal history, city chronicle and deranged post-Freudian proletarian fantasy, MY WINNIPEG – which is framed as a goodbye letter – blends local myth with childhood trauma. A deliriously layered provocation, MY WINNIPEG is outrageous, informative and wildly entertaining. MY WINNIPEG (2007)
