Guy Maddin’s latest film for the National Film Board of Canada, Night Mayor, might well appeal to the Hotel St. George audience. Ostensibly the story of a Bosnian immigrant to Winnipeg’s attempt to create energy from the aurora borealis, as with all of Maddin’s films it’s hard to know how much to believe:
I’ve written about Guy Maddin before. A few of his short films can be found on YouTube – I recommend The Heart of the World; or, see his video for Sparklehorse’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”. And he’s also made a couple of books, well worth picking up, for Toronto’s Coach House Books.
