The Foyle Film Festival - My Winnipeg

Event information

Director Guy Maddin, an alternative cinema legend for one-of- a- kind films like "The Saddest Music In The World" and "Brand Upon the Brain!", has lived in the Canadian city (Winnipeg), apparently known as "the heart of the continent", for his entire life and has been more than content to do so. Using his customary aesthetic tools, including a fondness for melodramatic silent film techniques and an ability (working with cinematographer Jody Shapiro) to make scratchy, faded black and white footage look unexpectedly beautiful, Maddin has made an evocative homage to a city he clearly loves.

Note: The Little Theatre is also Known as The Orchard Cinema, St Columb's Hall, Orchard St Derry/Londonderry.
