It’s HERE! My Winnipeg Trailer!

Yes! It’s finally here!

We’ve been expecting it for a while but I must admit it’s taken much longer than I had anticipated. Last week I managed to track down a very cool interview with director Guy Maddin that showed a little footage of what we could expect from his latest film, the fantastical semi-documentary known as My Winnipeg but IFC has finally released a trailer.

Along with the glorious trailer, we have an official write up of the film direct from the website:

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 attempt to answer that question in MY WINNPEG, a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. The film is a documentary (or “docu-fantasia” as Maddin proclaims) that blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths that cover everything from the fire at the local park, which leads to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads, to pivotal, sometimes traumatic, factually heightened scenes from Maddin’s own childhood. 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.

Yes, it’s a glorious trailer and thanks to our friends at Quiet Earth for the heads up!

Check it out tucked under the seat!
