Trailer: Guy Maddin's "My Winnipeg"

I first heard of this film during last year's festival circuit. It's a rather avante garde film about the connections that one feels to the place of their birth. This is a topic that hits close to home for me, because as much as I love Philadelphia, it's a sinking ship and I want off.

Well, director Guy Maddin wanted to leave his home town. But before he could do that, he needed to make this film and rectify a few things about his childhood, his family and his Winnipeg.

Give it a look. I will definitely be checking this out if it plays anywhere near me.
