We love Guy Maddin. Sure, some of his stuff is a little hard to grasp but one thing we can always expect is creativity. Get ready for some more Maddin creativity.

Yesterday Maddin announced that he has a new project on the go in celebration of the NFB’s 70th anniversary. Titled Night Mayor, the film will be a “cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer.”

In his interview with The Globe & Mail, Maddin explains that he was initially against making the film but was sold after falling in love with some of the material in the NFB’s archives during his research for material for My Winnipeg.

Looks like this will be a quick turn around: Maddin expects to start shooting next week and hopes to have the new short completed and turned over to the NFB by the end of the month. With this timeline, we’re likely to see some new Maddin material in the next few months!
