The WinniPagans

Dir. Dodie Graham McKay | 25 mins. | 2012

The WinniPagans provides an intimate look at a diverse pagan community thriving in the heart of the prairies. In the last half of the 1980’s a distinct brand of prairie paganism sprouted forth in the middle of nowhere - Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, smack in the centre of North America. The small group of pagans banded together and held open circles, initiated the annual tradition of celebrating the spring seasonal festival of Beltane in a public park and then published a magazine called, ‘The Minstrel’. The WinniPagans, is the story of the growth and the spirit of the community and a look at some of the individuals who made it come alive. The film features the poetry of Kate Bitney and the haunting panpipe music of Glen Hoban. Commissioned by provincial cable television provider MTS Allstream for their ‘Stories From Home’ Video on Demand service.
