Eye Weekly interviews Guy Maddin

On the eve of the May 12 launch of the My Winnipeg companion, Guy Maddin talks to Eye Weekly's Edward Keenan about making the transition from film to book and more:

'There was so much stuff that I wanted to put into the movie — I literally had enough for Winnipeg Alexanderplatz, a 16-hour TV series — it seemed such a shame that none of that stuff would see the light of day. Some of it didn't make the movie because I had to admit that it was really — the screen was not the best ultimate place for it. Some of the stuff seemed that it needed to be read, rather than looked at or listened to. And so this was my chance to cram some of that stuff in.'
