Guy Maddin talks to cultural podcast host Bat Segundo for the better part of an hour on a wide range of subjects (listed here) — not least among them his new book, My Winnipeg.
The National Post's Mark Medley talks to Guy Maddin about the My Winnipeg companion as (in Maddin's words) 'an opportunity to expand on things I'd been dying to talk about when I was putting together the movie' and about giving Winnipeg 'a big rest' to work on his latest film project, Keyhole, a collaboration with John Ashberry and Isabella Rossellini.
Winnipeg's Uptown talks to Guy Maddin about mythologizing his home city and wooing film noir B-actress Ann Savage to play his mother in My Winnipeg. The feature also profiles Jon Paul Fiorentino (Theory of the Loser Class).
The Saturday, May 9, edition of the Globe Books section featured a generous excerpt from the interview between Guy Maddin and Michael Ondaatje in My Winnipeg.
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:
Coach House will, as of February 14, offer free digital downloads with the purchase of any print edition (provided, of course, the book currently exists in e-format). You buy one of our print books, the electronic book is yours for the taking.
Sounds great, but how does it work? One of two ways:
Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington is this year’s recipient of the Robert R. Reid lifetime achievement award for excellence in book art. The award is given annually by the Alcuin Society, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and celebrating Canadian contributions to print culture.
Previous Robert R. Reid recipients include former Coach House typesetter and designer Glenn Goluska.
In a two-part interview with Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington, Nigel Beale, from the Biblio File podcast, delves into the intriguing combination of factors that inspired Bevington's passion for print culture and took Coach House to the forefront of Canadian book design.
The interview is both a journey through the history of technologies and typefaces, as well as an advice manual for collectors seeking rare pieces of Canadiana.
