Everyone is invited to come and watch the director shooting a portion of his new project Seánces at the Winnipeg Art Gallery Saturday evening, Sept. 29, Sunday afternoon, Sept. 30 and Friday evening, Oct. 5.

Seánces is part of an ongoing project in which Maddin has been engaged for the last three years, including his art installation recreations of lost films Hauntings and Hauntings II, which showcased Maddin’s fanciful recreations of lost films.

The 19-minute film combines home movies, footage from his lost films shot at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, popular songs and radio broadcasts from the ’60s, as well as family tape recordings.

On Saturday, Sept. 29, Maddin shoots at 10 p.m., 11 p.m., midnight. and 1 a.m. On Sunday, the times are 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. and on Friday, Oct. 5, he’ll shoot at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m., and 8 p.m.
