Hydro-Lévesque

By Matthew Rankin | 00:16:00 | Experimental | 01/06/2008

November, 1976. As Québec strides boldly towards independence, a supernatural vision of tragedy inspires a deaf-mute Québécoise Catholic nun to save the city of Winnipeg from committing mass suicide. Arriving just in time to find Winnipeg’s polio-stricken mayor leading the citizens into self-destructive hysteria, the Holy Sister must prepare the way to salvation by filling…

Sharhé Halé Shakhsi: M. Rankin

By Matthew Rankin | 00:03:00 | Narrative-Fiction | 01/01/2007

A Persian language autobiography of Iranian filmmaker, Matthew Rankin. Says Rankin, “This is the only honest film I have ever made.”

Death By Popcorn: The Tragedy of the Winnipeg Jets

By Atelier National du Manitoba, Matthew Rankin, Mike Maryniuk, Walter Forsberg | 01:00:00 | Comedy, Documentary | 1/1/2006

Peppered with action-packed cameos by Winnipeg All-Stars Dale Hawerchuk, Burton Cummings, Teemu Selanne, Billy Van and a recent interview with the man who sent the Jets straight into the jaws of death by throwing a cataclysmic box of popcorn onto the ice in Game 6 of the 1990 playoff series, Death by Popcorn follows the…

Kubasa in a Glass

By Atelier National du Manitoba, Matthew Rankin, Walter Forsberg | 01:05:00 | Experimental | 1/1/2006

Kubasa in a Glass is a hilarious pastiche of Winnipeg’s commercial and public access programming throughout the 80s, rescued from the trash by members of the former-Winnipeg filmmaking collective Atelier National du Manitoba.

Oú est Maurice?

By Alek Rzeszowski, Matthew Rankin | 00:04:30 | Narrative-Fiction | 1/8/2006

An aggrieved Francophiliac pet-owner has lost her beloved dog along the absurd and surreal banks of the River Seine. When a debonair Parisianoid crooner arrives with seductive intent, she soon discovers the dog of her dreams as muted French Presidents monitor the strange romance. Lurid Francophilia!

I Dream of Driftwood

By Matthew Rankin | 00:03:00 | Documentary, Experimental | 01/01/2006

I Dream of Driftwood is a delirious super-8 ransom note cobbled together out of the baroque letters and grandiose names of Winnipeg apartment buildings. Idealistic, absurd and positively insane with Stockholm syndrome, the film glorifies all the smoldering romance that these living spaces fail to provide.

Cattle Call

By Matthew Rankin, Mike Maryniuk | 00:03:30 | Animation, Documentary, Experimental | 01/09/2008

Cattle Call is a high-speed animated documentary about the art of livestock auctioneering. Structured around the mesmerizing talents of 2007 Man-Sask Auctioneer Champion, Tim Dowler, and using a variety of classic and avant-garde animation techniques (including stop-motion, cut-outs, open-exposures, hole-punching and rubbing lettraset directly on the celluloid) filmmakers Maryniuk and Rankin have tried to create…

Robert Vilar Workbook Vol 1: Golden Vilars

By Alek Rzeszowski, Matthew Rankin | 00:01:30 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 01/01/2007

A spectacular visual celebration of two cultural phenomenons: the Golden Girls and Winnipeg cult actor Robert Vilar.

Barber Gull Rub

By Matthew Rankin | 00:02:24 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 01/05/2008

Winnipeg Film Group. Deep in the winter of 1986. Guy Maddin is in the process of filming Tales from the Gimli Hospital and needs to rub a dead seagull on somebody’s chest. Immediately, Dave Barber agrees, submitting his bare flesh to Maddin’s road kill and to film history. (This film was commissioned by the Winnipeg Film…

Negativipeg

By Matthew Rankin | 00:15:40 | Documentary | 01/09/2010

Negativipeg tells the story of Rory Lepine, who shot to Herostratic fame in 1985 when he attacked Winnipeg rock legend Burton Cummings with a beer bottle in a North End 7-Eleven. Narrated by Lepine himself, the film meditates on this mysterious act of destruction and suggests that Winnipeg might have an attitude problem.
