Riwayat Hidup
Guy Maddin CM OM is a Canadian screenwriter, director, author, cinematographer and film editor of both features and short films, as well as an installation artist, from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
His most distinctive quality is his penchant for recreating the look and style of silent or early sound era films which has solidified his popularity and acclaim in alternative film circles.
Since completing his first film in 1985, Maddin has become one of Canada's most well-known and celebrated film-makers.
Maddin has directed eleven feature films and numerous short films, in addition to publishing three books and creating a host of installation art projects.
A number of Maddin's recent films began as or developed from installation art projects, and his books also relate to his film work.
Maddin has been the subject of much critical praise and academic attention, including two books of interviews with Maddin and two book-length academic studies of his work.
Maddin was appointed to the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honour, in 2012.

Seances cocreated with the National Film...Seances 2016
Seances, co-created with the National Film Board of Canada, presents a wholly new way of experiencing film narrative. By dynamically generating a series of film sequences in unique configurations, potentially hundreds of thousands of new stories are conjured by code. Each will exist only in the moment—no pausing, scrubbing, or sharing—offering the audience one chance to see the generated film. This project, co-created by the ever imaginative Guy Maddin, is a visual discourse on the impact of loss within film. All the sequences pay homage to lost silent films from the early day of cinema. Seances is nostalgic but it is also frequently hilarious. Part of the joy and sadness of Seances is that many possible narratives are created but they can be only viewed once before they disappear forever.
