BlogWinnipeg film at the finish line
I was startled to see how much time has gone by since my last post on BlogWinnipeg. But that’s what happens when you’re finishing a film project–spring turns to summer turns to fall, etc. etc. etc. There are so very many things to catch up with (for example, the billions of leaves left unraked in the yard) and this blog is one of them.
Still, I’m happy to report that BlogWinnipeg: The Movie is now a reality. We’re making plans for its upcoming broadcast on MTS’s Winnipeg on Demand (available to MTS TV subscribers) and will be announcing other public opportunities to see it.
The idea for this film project was to capture the essence of the conversation that Winnipeggers have about their city–that strange and wonderful love/hate thing we have going on. Have I succeeded? I guess that remains to be seen. But I sure had a good time doing it.
Thanks, all you bloggers out there, who inspired the premise for this film–I’ll keep you posted on its debut.
BlogWinnipeg was created by Manitoba filmmaker Paula Kelly who has great affection for her city and has featured it in several films.
The intent for BlogWinnipeg is to fuse together the languages of cinema and new media in an innovative short documentary about Winnipeg, as seen and experienced by its own citizens.
Paula's latest release is "Souvenirs," a trio of short films about the history of Winnipeg. The films were created during a six-month artist residency at the City of Winnipeg Archives through the Winnipeg Arts Council's Public Art Program.
Hey, Congratulations !!
1Cool. Looking forward to checking it out…
