You get it all in this episode: 2 friends and on-the field rivals talking ‘trash talk', 4 Grey Cup wins, numerous records set, and major business moves. From tech startups to athletes positioning themselves as brands ready to take over the world. Plus, hear about the hardest hits, wildest rumors, and how they're helping athletes & HBCUs monetize.
On today's episode, I talk to director Guy Maddin. Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Guy did not set out to be a filmmaker, but after working odd job after odd job, he eventually started taking film classes in his later 20s and became part of the Winnipeg Film Group. After making some short films and a surreal cable access show, he wrote and directed his debut feature, Tales from the Gimli Hospital, in 1988. It became a cult success and established Guy's reputation in independent film circles. Since then, he has written and directed over a dozen other films including The Saddest Music in the World, My Winnipeg, Keyhole and his latest Rumours starring Cate Blanchett, which had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Festival!

Ep. 275: Rumours Directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson Talk About Movies Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week sees the release of Rumours, the new movie from Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson. It's about a remote gathering of world leaders (played by Cate Blanchett and Roy Dupuis among others) who face a looming crisis and encounter a giant brain in a forest -- for starters. During the New York Film Festival, I jumped at the chance to chat with the filmmakers about movies. The conversation had two parts: movies related to Rumours in some way, and then (taps sign) the last things each filmmaker had seen, whether in a cinema or at home. Their wide-ranging answers were an absolute delight, which I won't spoil here! Rumours opens on October 18, including screenings at IFC Center moderated by executive producer Ari Aster and Owen Kline. Through Oct. 17, IFC Center is also showing a Guy Maddin retrospective including Careful, Brand Upon the Brain!, Tales from the Gimli Hospital, My Winnipeg, The Forbidden Room, and more.

HAIL AND WELL MET HEARTY PODCAST EXPLORER AND WELCOME TO THE MOST CURRENT EPISODE OF… The post Cinepunx Episode 195: MY WINNIPEG appeared first on Cinepunx.
Filmmaker Guy Maddin dives into the psyches of Kevin & Thomas. What he finds is an ungodly mess as the boys get this award winning visionary's take on their film work. Then Maddin turns an investigative lens on the childhood memories that echo in their minds (through the cacophony of chaos). Guy Maddin's newest film Rumours stars Cate Blanchett and fellow Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Roy Dupuis (The Rocket), Denis Ménochet (Inglourious Basterds), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Knock at the Cabin), Rolando Ravello (Perfect Strangers), Takehiro Hira (Gran Turismo) and Zlatko Burié (Triangle of Sadness). A silly session with the incredible director of works such as My Winnipeg, Archangel, The Saddest Music in the World, and Keyhole.

Welcome Jack Davenport to the show as he sits in for our long overdue retrospective of Guy Maddin's poem of home, My Winnipeg. Famed The Twin Geeks composer, co-founder, and the ACK of The Stacks, excellent musician 10secondbeats on Spotify, and popular Letterboxd member, Jack wears many hats, and puts on another one, analyzing a great work of docufiction, for our latest program. My Winnipeg does not have many / any other films that are exactly like it. It is most like a silent film, despite the constant narrative that drives the story. It moves in poetic arcs through understanding spaces and places and what it means to the people who have lived there, finding that rare bottled-up filmmaking energy that seems to sprout out of Winnipeg very naturally. It's a fun and full show, as we offer our personal reflections on Guy Maddin's own personal reflections of where he's from. Won't you join us?A production of The Twin Geeks | Join our Discord

Original Air Date: Monday 12 June, 9 pm Eastern Description: This week's show begins with Dean and Phil discussing one of Dean's all-time favorite films and filmmakers: My Winnipeg by Guy Maddin. Phil hails it as perhaps the greatest film NOT to be on the Sight and Sound poll of the 250 greatest films ever made. From great movies to great television, your friends in podcasting and broadcasting shift gears to discuss the end of "Succession", the end of "Barry", the end of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel", the end of "Ted Lasso", Season 1 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", and Season 2 of "Star Trek: Picard". And speaking of "Picard" the actress who played the Borg Queen will get remembered in Celebrity Deaths, as will a beloved French-Canadian actor, an incredible Mexican character actor, the stunt man who inspired Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" … And the lead character in that film has also died?!
We've got our first festival lineup for 2023! Next year's Sundance lineup gives us high profile premieres, a look at the avant-garde, and our most exciting cast rundown yet! Then, our last donor's choice of the year brings us My Winnipeg! I don't remember what we talk about in that one and forgot to ask Andy to write a description -- too late now! Great movie though!

A brand new 4K remastering of TALES FROM THE GIMLI HOSPITAL, Guy Maddin's highly acclaimed first feature first released in 1988 and now regarded as one of the true cult hits on the midnight movie circuit. While their mother is dying in the modern Gimli, Manitoba hospital, two young children are told a tale by their Icelandic grandmother about Einar the Lonely, his friend Gunnar, and the angelic Snjofridur in a Gimli of old. Set during a smallpox epidemic in the village of Gimli, Manitoba near the turn of the century, TALES FROM THE GIMLI HOSPITAL REDUX is a dreamlike, elliptical film which explores the jealousy and madness instilled in two men who share a hospital room “in a Gimli we no longer know.” Director, producer, writer and auteur extraordinaire Guy Maddin (Brand Upon the Brain, The Heart of the World, My Winnipeg) returns to the program to talk about the trials and tribulations of his debut feature film and all that went into pulling together a large cast of professional and non-professional actors, finding ingenious ways of building the sets and filming whenever and however he could.

Hey Butter-buddies! This week we conclude our Cold Movies theme with Chrystine's selection, 2007's My Winnipeg! Chill with the crew as we untangle fact and fiction in this "docu-fantasia" that explores Winnipeg's rich yet tragic civic history, creates a complex municipal mythology, and delves into the ambiguity between memories, legends, and outright fabrications. Plus, is the penultimate embrace between mother and son tender or skeevy? Tune in to find out!
We take a little break from the audio commentating to do a little bit of audio pontificating on a whole host of topics, starting with a Blue Plate Special concerned with re-litigating the holiday classic The Nightmare Before Christmas before finding a lot to love in Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg. This week's bonus episode finally gets around to the broad and nearly indefinable topic of what exactly happens when history and filmmaking collide. What does the art form of cinema "owe" the people, places, and ideas of the past and what do such interpretations have to tell us about the times in which they were produced? We follow up a parsing of the various modes, highs, lows, and all in the middle when it comes to notable examples of historical films and finally get around to pitching some of our own ideas of past peoples or events ripe for contemporary consideration.

Chris loves these movies and is delighted that Jason enjoyed both of these films. The guys compare notes about Canadian celebrity, what it means to create an experimental film, and how to capture the fragmented nature of someone's life on film.

The first episode of Viewfinder Podcast! The editorial team discusses Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg, gives their recommendations, and Samantha Cortes sits down for a talk with Christopher Paetkau, CEO Build Films. Episode 1
Guy Maddin and his partners are communing with the spirits of long-lost movies. In a conversation with William Uricchio, Maddin discusses why we should bother digging up filmic and narrative memories from oblivion, how we can take advantage of the Internet to involve new publics, and how the act of doing so might help to create a new web-based art form. Maddin is an installation artist, writer and filmmaker, the director of eleven feature-length movies, including The Forbidden Room (2015) and My Winnipeg (2007). In the winter of 2015/16 he and Evan Johnson will launch their major internet interactive work, Seances, which will enable anyone online to “hold séances with” movies fashioned out of fragments of long-lost films.
