To celebrate National Soup Month, we’ll be serving soup and showing My Winnipeg, an award-winning, melodramatic documentary by screen-writer and director Guy Maddin, who is known for recreating the look and style of silent or early-sound-era films. Fact, fantasy and memory are woven seamlessly together in this portrait of the film-maker’s hometown in Manitoba. The film follows a young Maddin on a train trying to escape from ‘sleepy, snowing, Winnipeg’ and its mystic pull. (2007)(Not rated)(80 min.)(info. from IMDb.com)

Please bring a can of soup (if possible) to donate to a local food pantry, and your lunch, and the library will provide a variety of hot soups, coffee, and tea. Refreshments provided courtesy of the Friends of the Bristol Public Library. This is a free event but registration is requested.
