Guy Maddin's 'Seances'

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. Take a look:
