Description:
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents My Winnipeg.

Directed by Guy Maddin
Canada, 2007
Black & White
80 Minutes

"Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin (The Saddest Music in the World) casts B-movie icon Ann Savage as his domineering mother in an attempt to answer that question in My Winnipeg, a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown.

The film is a ´docu-fantasia´ that blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths that cover everything from the fire at the local park, to pivotal, factually heightened scenes from Maddin´s own childhood.

My Winnipeg won the best Canadian film at the Toronto International Film Festival and was the opening night selection of the Berlin Film Festival´s Forum." —IFC Films

"Unexpectedly beautiful. A haunting phantasmagoria of a film—comic, singular, surreal. A film to give yourself to, with pleasure." —Los Angeles Times

This film is part of the Premieres and Revivals film series.
