Coming attraction: interview with Guy Maddin

The utterly unique maker of utterly unique movies, Maddin is a delight to talk to. We caught up with him during the recent frantic week of live performances accompanying his new film Brand Upon the Brain! Here he talks about his disappointment that his films didn't show up on YouTube, plus gives some insight into his new editing style, a very radical fragmentation of action that brings to mind the great "underground" filmmakers.

Here she talks about her move from teen roles to adult ones.
