Welcome to Guy Maddin!

The Winnipeg International Writers Festival is pleased to announce that Guy Maddin will be attending this September’s THIN AIR Writers Festival! 

Guy is an award winning film maker with an international reputation. My Winnipeg, his second book, is a companion to the fascinating film of the same name. He has also recently received the Province of Manitoba’s highest honour when he was named to the Order of Manitoba. The Order is given to Manitobans whose achievements have benefited the social, cultural or economic wellbeing of the province.
