MY WINNIPEG, 2007

Canada | DCP, Black-White, 80' | English
Director: Guy Maddin
Cast: Darcy Fehr, Ann Savage, Louis Negin

Described by Guy Maddin as a “docu-fantasia,” the film is a personal and imaginary farewell letter to the city where he was born and raised. Blending documentary and fiction, it weaves together urban history, local myths, and childhood memories through a surreal visual language that evokes the aesthetics of silent cinema. Moving through dream imagery, pseudo-scientific explanations, and historical anecdotes, the narrative unfolds through recurring motifs such as trains, sleepwalkers, and frozen horses. As the city’s past merges with personal memory, the film questions the boundaries between myth and reality, belief and recollection.
