Your Winnipeg Winners Announced
Finally after months of film making, shortlisting and voting we are excited to be able to announce the winners of the Your Winnipeg filmmaking competition. The winning film was selected by a panel of industry experts including Guy Maddin himself, who had the following to say about the entries…
“So many intriguing films showed up for our consideration that I am now thoroughly convinced there is hope for the future of film, and that it lies in the hands of those young revolutionary artists working out of their own homes, their own hometowns, and out on their streets, all using street-level technology accessible to the masses!”
