ABOUT MY WINNIPEG:

A hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown, MY WINNIPEG blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths, the film covers everything from the fire at the local park which lead to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads to pivotal and factually heightened scenes from Maddin’s own childhood, all laced with a startling emotional honesty. MY WINNIPEG is Maddin’s most personal film and a truly unique cinematic experience, winning the best Canadian film at the Toronto International Film Festival and the opening night selection of the Berlin Film Festival’s Forum.

MY WINNIPEG opens at The Varsity on June 20.
