Audiences won't be able to get a look at the complete Night Mayor - the latest short from the iconic Guy Maddin - until it screens at the Toronto International Film Festival, but thanks to the fine people at the National Film Board of Canada you can get a solid two minute taste of it right now! Here's how the fest describes it:
The filmmaker whose cinematic style inspired the term "Maddinesque" delivers a fantastical film about the night mayor of Winnipeg, an inventor of Bosnian descent who harnesses the power of the aurora borealis to transmit distinctly Canadian images across the Great White North. Guy Maddin's imaginative allegory for our cinematic history blends his signature humour with subversive social commentary.
