Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons- "Born Again"
In
one of those sort of odd collaborations that actually makes a bit of
sense when you think about it, Guy Maddin is planning on writing an
upcoming feature with a longtime friend. "It’s
called Keyhole," Maddin tells Paste. "Which
I’m co-developing with the poet John Ashbery."
Ashbery
might not be a familiar name to cinema fans, likely because that's
not his medium. Rather, he's best known for his
Pulitzer/National Book Award/National Book Critics Circle
award-winning collection of poems Self-Portrait in a Convex
Mirror. The pair previously worked together on Brand Upon
the Brain, with Ashbery providing the narration in some venues,
and his version of the narration is one contained on Criterion's DVD
release this August.
Inspired by Raymond Roussel's New Impressions of Africa, the film will be about the different ways people choose to view things. "I think of it as being a choose your own adventure," Maddin says. "Kind of a movie labyrinth."
Look forward to more about Maddin's upcoming projects in Paste's upcoming interview.
