“I’m very much the anti hero in real life but I compensate madly in my dreams” - Glenn Gould

A poet, a figure of mystery and a musical genius, world renowned pianist Glenn Gould continues to captivate us twenty seven years after his untimely death. His use of complex recording technologies was unprecedented. The new film Genius Within weaves together an array of never before seen film footage, photographs and excerpts from Gould’s private home recordings and diaries. In addition, there are personal interviews with Gould’s most intimate friends and lovers, some of whom have never spoken about him publicly before (including interviews with Mark Kingwell, Petula Clark, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Cornelia Foss).
