Canada’s cinematic crazyman Guy Maddin is taking his
avant-garde filmmaking to new levels in Montréal. Maddin is currently at Montréal’s
Phi Centre shooting Seances, a live
film experience. Seances is being
performed and filmed before a live studio audience. Maddin is shooting twelve
films in thirteen days for the project, which will culminate as an interactive
work for the National Film Board of Canada and as a feature film by Phi Films,
Buffalo Gal Pictures and the NFB.
Scenes from the first day of filming were released today, which
offers footage of Karine Vanasse (Polytechnique)
starring in Maddin’s unusual project. We’ll keep you updated as Maddin
continues Seances through to July 20.
