What’s Winnipeg, Manitoba most famous for? K-Tel? Hunky Bill’s Perogie Maker? The Green Garbage Bag? Well, yes, it’s the birthplace of all those things, but Winnipeg also has an incredibly rich and diverse filmmaking community. Curators Clint Enns and Leslie Supnet — who are also Winnipeg filmmakers themselves — have gathered an impressive collection of the best that their hometown has to offer.
What unites these films is that their place of origin has definitely influenced their content. Not that these films are about the city specifically, bu they do exhibit the same scrappy lo-fi inventiveness that makes Winnipeg the unique place in the world that it is. It’s the spirit of the “strange humour, hand-crafted experimentation and lo-fi/high-tec conundrums” of the town that will shine through on the screen.
