My Winnipeg
The truth is relative.
Directed by Guy Maddin
Produced by Everyday Pictures, Buffalo Gal Pictures
A dreamlike, formally inventive meditation on memory and place that blurs fact and fantasy to excavate the emotional truth of a beloved city.
The geographical dead center of North America and the beloved birthplace of Guy Maddin, Winnipeg, is the frosty and mysterious star of Maddin’s film. Fact, fantasy and memory are woven seamlessly together in this work, conjuring a city as delightful as it is fearsome.
