"Congratulations to Peter Raymont and everyone at White Pines Pictures for this incredible honour," said Susanne Boyce, President, Creative, Content and Channels, CTV Inc. "Since its premiere at TIFF in 2009, GENIUS WITHIN has been wowing audiences with its detailed portrait of one of Canada's most iconic artists, and we're proud to have been a part of it from the beginning."
As an enigmatic musical poet and world-renowned pianist, Canada's own Glenn Gould continues to captivate 28 years after his untimely death. A collaboration between award-winning documentary filmmaker Peter Raymont and award-winning editor Michèle Hozer, GENIUS WITHIN: THE INNER LIFE OF GLENN GOULD explores the personal side of Glenn Gould the man, how he turned his back on celebrity for the sake of his art and whose devotion to his craft cost him the relationships most dear to him.
