On Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is pleased to present a special screening of Green Fog, directed by Winnipeg cult favorite, Guy Maddin in collaboration with directors Even Johnson and Galen Johnson.

Green Fog, 2017is an adaptation/remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s VERTIGO, created entirely from previously shot footage repurposed from 96 Hollywood studio films shot on location in San Francisco over the last century. The film was commissioned from the San Francisco International Film Festival for its 60th anniversary and premiered in San Francisco on April 16th of this year. The presentation at Plug In ICA marks the films third screening internationally.

This special screening is programmed in conjunction with session one of our Summer Institute research program lead by Chris Kraus. The directors will be present at the screening and available for a question and answer period.


All public programming is free and open to the public. Everyone welcome!


The Summer Institute is an international post-graduate research program for professional artists working in all disciplines and media. In 2017 Plug In ICA hosts two sessions of the Institute, both emphasizing writing as an expanded field incorporating elements of critical confession, reflection and artistry.
