My Winnipeg

Saturday, October 12 - Wednesday, October 16, 2024

Wednesday, October 16 at 6:35 p.m.:  Post-screening Q&A with director Guy Maddin

A documentary (or docufantasia, as Guy Maddin 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. Somehow, it all feels seamlessly assembled, utterly if perversely logical-a beautifully personal meditation on belief and truth, memory and myth.

A deliriously layered provocation, MY WINNIPEG is outrageous, informative and wildly entertaining.

Winner: Best Canadian Feature Film, TIFF 2007
