Biography
Guy Maddin CM OM is a Canadian screenwriter, director, author, cinematographer and film editor of both features and short films, as well as an installation artist, from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Maddin has directed eleven feature films and numerous short films, in addition to publishing three books and creating a host of installation art projects.
