Sorry for the short notice, but just found out about this today (hat tip to my friend Judy Gombita). The University of Toronto is holding a weeklong series of events entitled, “Confession and the Cinema of Uninhibition” featuring films, lectures and a roundtable discussion of the work of Winnipeg filmmaker Guy Maddin, who will be in attendance at all events. Here’s the schedule:
- Tuesday 12 January, 7:00pm, Innis College Town Hall — “May I Blow my Bugle Now? My Life in Clips” (Illustrated lecture by Guy Maddin on his major influences and favourite films)
- Wednesday 13 January, 7:00pm, Innis College Town Hall — “Machine Gun Lullabies and Short Sleep” (Guy Maddin illuminates the short film as an artistic form)
