Commissioned as a documentary about the director’s prairie hometown, My Winnipeg proceeds from the simple premise that a city is nothing without its ghosts: the mass of memories, legends and fictions that accumulate in any place inhabited by human beings. My Winnipeg is a film about the dream life of a city, a para-documentary about a parallel, phantasmagorical, invisible Winnipeg; it is a séance, a channeling of spirits through the medium of cinema, an exorcism of personal and collective history, as well as a memoir of one soul’s desperate final attempt at an escape from the city and its ghosts. —Tyler Prozeniuk, POV Magazine

Screenings

The Green Fog is a new version, in a wonderfully oblique fashion, of Hitchcock’s Vertigo; it could also have been named San Francisco Plays Itself or, to borrow a title from Peter Greenaway, Vertical Features Remake. Hitchcock’s film is one of the most vertically obsessed films ever, and The Green Fog follows suit, but since this is a work co-directed by Guy Maddin, you can imagine that it’s also obsessive on many other levels that Hitchcock could never have dreamed of. The Green Fog tells a story of sorts, essentially reproducing the shape of Vertigo—with some room for facetiously digressive play—using clips from assorted films and TV series, all shot on location in San Francisco, to stand in for moments of Hitchcock’s film. —Jonathan Romney, Film Comment

Yul Brynner plays a gunslinger leading a septet of strangers to defend a Mexican village against marauders in director John Sturges’ classic Western remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai—a remake that itself inspired three sequels, a TV series, and its own 2016 remake. Brynner’s fellow gunslingers include then-rising stars Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Elmer Bernstein received his second Oscar nomination for his rousing score, whose classic main theme became arguably his most popular and widely recognized melody.
