My Winnipeg

My Winnipeg is a surreal docufantasia in which Guy Maddin turns his camera on the city of his birth, Winnipeg, Manitoba, near the geographic center of North America. Fact, fantasy and memory are interwoven as the film examines the city's history, its topography and its hold on the imagination. Using actors to portray members of his own family, Maddin revisits his childhood while a narrator watches the snowbound city pass from a train window, evoking a place associated with sleepwalkers, mesmerists, seances and spirits. The result blends personal history with civic tragedy and mystical speculation.

Guy Maddin directed, wrote and co-produced the film, and it stands between Careful from 1992 and Rumours from 2024 in his filmography as a director. The cast includes Ann Savage, Louis Negin, Darcy Fehr, Amy Stewart, Brendan Cade and Wesley Cade. Produced in Canada by Buffalo Gal Pictures, Documentary Channel and Everyday Pictures, the film runs 80 minutes and spans comedy, documentary, drama and fantasy.

Its critical and audience reception was strong. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.5 from around 6,000 votes, while on TMDB it has a 6.9 from 116 votes. Critics rated it 8.1 from 89 reviews, higher than the audience scores on both sites, suggesting that reviewers responded especially warmly to this personal, unconventional portrait of a city.
