Guy Maddin's award-winnipeg docu-fantasia My Winnipeg is a richly layered tribute to his hometown.

Winnipeg. Winnipeg. Snowy, sleepwalking Winnipeg. My home for my entire life. I need to get out of here. I must leave it now. What if I film my way out of here...? Once this filmed re-enactment is complete, I can free myself of the heinous power of family and city, and escape, once and for all. After a lifetime of many botched attempts, this time I'm leaving for good - again!
