Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould is a 1993 Canadian biographical anthology film about the pianist Glenn Gould, played by Colm Feore. It was directed by François Girard, with a screenplay by Girard and Don McKellar.
The film is presented as a series of 31 short films rather than as one narrative. Segments include documentaries, consisting of interviews with individuals who knew the real Gould, and reenactments of episodes in Gould’s life. “Gould Meets McLaren” employs animated spheres from Norman McLaren‘s filmography. The film received positive reviews and won four Genie Awards, including Best Motion Picture.
