(Guy Maddin / Canada / 2007/ 80 mins / Cert 12A/ £4/3/2ttt)
Rare 16mm screening of Guy Maddin short Odilon Redon or The Eye Like a Strange Balloon Mounts Toward Infinity (1995) 6 mins
followed by main feature, My Winnipeg.
This is the latest film from cult director Guy Maddin (The Saddest Music in the World) who describes it as "docu-fantasia". Through the film he revisits and reinvents his boyhood in Winnipeg, casting 1940s femme fatale Ann Savage in the role of his mother. It is a beautiful film of black and white images mixing reality with soft-focus dreamscape. The reality-bending doesn't end there. Creative interpretations of local lore, reenactments of childhood traumas, and a quasi-documentary style make My Winnipeg a surreal reinvention of childhood and secret history.
