Guy Maddin started making films in his back yard and on his kitchen table. Now his unique work; which relies heavily on such archaic means as black and white small-format cinematography and silent-film storytelling; premieres at major film festivals around the world and is avidly discussed in the critical press. Into the Past provides a complete and systematic critical commentary on each of Maddins feature films and shorts; from his 1986 debut film The Dead Father through to his highly successful 2008 full-length docu-fantasia My Winnipeg.William Beards extensive analysis of Maddins narrative and aesthetic strategies; themes; influences; and underlying issues also examines the origins and production history of each film. Each of Maddins projects and collaborations showcase his gradual evolution as a filmmaker and his singular development of narrative forms. Beards close readings of these films illuminate; among other things; the profound ways in which Maddins art is founded in the past - both in the cultural past; and in his personal memory.

Researched in such detail and quest for accuracy that beats many scientific subject searches. The authors love for the artist. Umm Kulthoum. is obvious. what a commitment to take such a narrow topic of the impact of Umm Kulthoum on post-1967 war Egypt. thank you Laura for this great gift.
