Tales of the Gimli Film Festival with Guy Maddin
Reports Roger Newman of Gimli, Manitoba's Interlake Spectator, Guy Maddin was, as expected, amusing at an appearance at the Gimli Film Festival. "Guy Maddin is napping and reading at his Gimli cottage while he ponders the next step in his... career. “Now that you are established as a cult, are you interested in making a mainstream movie?” asked [a] questioner. “Yes, I might if the script is right,” replied the film-maker. “Are you looking for a property?” the questioner persisted. “Is your next question ... will I look at your script?” Maddin shot back... Maddin said that he couldn’t film nude scenes early in his career because his mother could see. But that changed later when “glaucoma led to nudity”. He also confessed that he shot a deleted scene from “Gimli Hospital” 11 years after he made the movie. “I needed a deleted scene for the DVD."
