My Winnipeg Trailer

Uploaded by IFCFirstTake on May 5, 2008
With his latest work, 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. 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.

Spent 8 years of my childhood in Winnipeg. I love Maddin's work! Does anyone know where I can send him fan mail? I would love to get this autograph!

Hi Guy! Great work! I'm an actor/writer in Toronto although I have been living in California many yrs. I wrote a screenplay that I think you might be IDEAL for as director. You can find my demo on youtube under Louis Wrightman & you can contact me thru there! Thanx! Louis

@anononomos You can escape it. Save your money, go to school elsewhere, find a proper job and don't even think about returning.

I lived in Winnipeg from September 1999 to January 18, 2008. I have lived and worked elsewhere in Canada, and can attest that this city is trapped in the dreamy past of Winter. I hope that anyone who has any real talent will get of of there and never return, leaving the city to slip further into the abyss of mediocrity and a longing for the past.
