7pm - GENIUS WITHIN: THE INNER LIFE OF GLENN GOULD
- directors Peter Raymont and Michèle Hozer
Intimately revealing the man behind the myth, GENIUS WITHIN casts a fresh light on the mysterious pianist whose ideas were as controversial, and his private life as passionate, as his music.
Although undoubtedly one of the most famous artists of his time - what do any of us really know about the man Glenn Gould, who would turn his back on celebrity for the sake of his art and whose devotion to his craft cost him the relationships most dear to him? A collaboration between award-winning documentary director Peter Raymont and award-winning editor Michèle Hozer in her directorial debut, GENIUS WITHIN explores these questions and humanizes the icon.
Featuring never-before seen footage of Gould, photographs and excerpts from his private home recordings and diaries, plus personal memories from Gould's most intimate friends and lovers, some who have never spoken about him publicly before, GENIUS WITHIN takes a fresh look at the artist who continues to captivate twenty-seven years after his untimely death.
