Wintopia

Mira Burt-Wintonick

2019

A box of tapes uncovered. A lifelong Utopian obsession. A daughter’s attempt to complete her father’s final film. WINTOPIA traces the enigmatic footsteps of renowned documentary filmmaker Peter Wintonick through the lens of his daughter, Mira, as she tries to decipher the map he has left behind. Reverberating with emotion and whimsy, the film guides us on a journey through possible worlds in pursuit of reconciliation, both between artist and family and between dreams and reality. Even for audiences unfamiliar with Peter’s work, the film is a touching story of grief, love, and hope.
