나의 위니펙
Dialogue
현란한 흑백 화면의 사용이 특징인 가이 매딘 감독이 고향인 위니펙을 소재로 만든 다큐 판타지. 감독이 성장하며 겪었던 도시의 역사와 개인적인 경험이 맞물려 전개되는데, 무채색의 꿈을 보는 듯한 모호한 화면들로 이루어져 있다. 빠른 화면전환과 히스테리컬한 클로즈업은 긴장감을 고조시키고, 때때로 등장하는 신화적인 장면들은 도시의 역사를 좇는 다큐멘터리임에도 불구하고 장르적 경계를 모호하게 만든다. * 2007 토론토영화제 최우수캐나다영화상 (제9회 전주국제영화제)

Careful
Screenplay
In the remote Alpine village of Tolzbad at the turn of the century, people talk quietly and restrain their movements lest avalanches come and kill them. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions - shown through the parallel stories of butler student Johann lusting after his mother (an old flame of the mysterious Count Knotkers) and Klara's attraction to her father (who lusts after his other daughter), leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. All this is shot in the style of an early German sound film, complete with intertitles, deliberately crackly soundtrack and 'hand-tinted' colour effects.
Archangel
Screenplay
A surrealistic film in which a strangely assorted group of people come together in the Russian Arctic at the height of the revolution and World War One.
