Summary
Set during a smallpox epidemic in the village of Gimli, Manitoba near the turn of the century, TALES FROM THEGIMLI HOSPITAL (1988) is a dreamlike, elliptical film that explores the jealousy and madness instilled in two men who share a hospital room ₃in a Gimli we no longer know. Zeitgeist Films and Films We Like in Canada present a brand new 4K remastering of the film by Guy Maddin, which had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The new 4K digital remaster was supervised by Guy Maddin using original printing elements provided by the TIFF Cinematheque Library and includes the replacement of a long-lost scene. Maddin₂s highly acclaimed first feature, released in 1988, is now regarded as one of the true cult hits on the midnight movie circuit.
