Guy Maddin: His Winnipeg

Iconoclastic filmmaker Guy Maddin has created a singular visual vocabulary. Best known for The Saddest Music in the World and My Winnipeg, he explores the slippages between authenticity and artifice. He is joined in conversation by Charles Coleman, Film Program Director at Facets Multimedia.

The annual Richard Gray Visual Art Series recognizes a significant gift from founding CHF board member and distinguished art dealer Richard Gray. This program is also presented in partnership with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Departments of Writing and Film, Video, New Media, and Animation, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
