The website describes this dream My Winnipeg Guy Maddin film on his hometown as a "docu-fantasia." This label is consistent with the fingertips to recreation, through archival footage and a fanciful tale of life and history of one of the coldest places in Canada, where the horses drowned in the snow has become the point recurrent strollers. With an amazing imagination and a wry sense of humor (especially in this film), Guy Maddin has won a special place among the filmmakers of worship. My Winnipeg is the latest confirmation of a genius.

The Director (Guy Maddin)
Born in Winnipeg (city in which elapses The Saddest music in the world and has also dedicated a strange surreal documentary, My Winnipeg), education started and consolidated film outside any school, filming short pieces with friends on weekends.
His first film, The dead father, is a 26-minute short film made in 1986 with a 16mm Bolex camera. Despite being an early work already shows some of the constants of his cinema, irony and humor sifting a tragic story, hodgepodge of genres and formal experimentation.
Two years later came her first feature, Tales from the Gimli Hospital, shot on a budget of only $ 20,000 and achieved some notoriety by being rejected by the Toronto Film Festival. Narrates the development of an epidemic in the town of Gimli in the early twentieth century and it can find references and homages ranging from the avant-garde French to German expressionism through totem directors as Fritz Lang silent period or David Wark Griffith.
Subsequently, Maddin has shot over 30 films, including shorts and feature films, gradually moving from the darkest underground to the premiere and celebration of his films in some of the most important film festivals in the world. Filmography
