Cnadian alternative cinema legend Guy Madden uses the tools that made him famous, including a gift for making faded black and white foootage look unexpectedly beautifu, to create an evocative hommage to a city he cliearly loves. Part civic history, part fantasy and part personal psychodrama.
Synopsis "My Winnipeg"
Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin casts B-movie icon Ann Savage as his domineering mother in attempt to answer that question in "My Winnipeg", a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. The film is a documentary that blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths that cover everything from the fire at the local park, which leads to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads, to pivotal, sometimes traumatic, factually heightened scenes from Maddin's own childhood
