Guy Maddin

Guy Maddin will be doing a lecture tomorrow at the University of Calgary, Craigie Hall Room 119 It is free and open to the public.

“Inspired by the aesthetics and melodramatic flourishes of silent cinema, Central European literature and the desolation of his native Winnipeg, Guy Maddin has fashioned a career like no other. The critically acclaimed filmmaker will speak about his autobiographical film-making, his cinéphilic obsessions, and his plans for world celluloid domination. A Super-8-cranking modern-day Eisenstein, filming plots that would make John Waters blush, Maddin embraces a cinema where expressionism, somnambulism and lurid sexual neuroses unite—and conquer!”

Also! Brand Upon the Brain! will be playing at 7 p.m. at The Uptown Theatre Admission: $12 General Admission, $10 Members/Students/Seniors.
