Guy Maddin, director of such films as ?My Winnipeg,? ?The Saddest Song in the World,? and the fantastic short film ?The Heart of the World,? has launched a monolithic new film project.
According to The Playlist, Maddin is currently in production on ?Spiritismes,? which will be comprised of 100 short films shot over the course of 100 days, in four different countries and in four different public spaces. Specifically, Maddin is shooting at MOMA in New York City, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Winnepeg Art Gallery in Winnepeg, Canada, and the Biennial in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
While promoting his latest film, ?Keyhole,? at SXSW, which stars Isabella Rossellini and Jason Patric in a black and white noir adaptation of ?The Odyssey,? Maddin told The Playlist a bit about the project:
?I just wrapped the first stage of an insanely over-ambitious project, the first eighteen days of shooting at the?Centre Pompidou?in Paris, a project I?m going to shoot this year. One hundred short films in one hundred days in four different countries, four different public spaces: the Pompidou,?MOMA?in New York, the?Winnipeg Art Gallery?in Winnipeg and the?Biennale?in Sao Paulo? What I?m doing, they?re adaptations of long-lost films, canonical and not so canonical, lost, unrealized and aborted projects. I became really haunted a few years ago by the fact that I just couldn?t see a lot of the great films made by my favorite directors, because they?re gone, they?re lost. 80% of silent films lost, many talkies lost.
Actors such as?Charlotte Rampling,?Mathieu Amalric, Andre Vilm, Geraldine Chaplin and Udo Kier will be appearing in the film.
While we wait for ?Spiritismes? to be wrapped and released, have a look at Maddin?s short film ?The Heart of the World,? commissioned to open the 2000 Toronto Film Festival. It?s a brilliantly surreal, science fiction black and white film, featuring ?Time, Forward!? by Georgy Syirdov, which supposedly comes from an old Soviet TV series.
