• The most renowned Canadian classical performer of the 20th century, pianist Glenn Gould remains one of the most fascinating and celebrated figures in all of music.


• A new retrospective of his life and work, HEREAFTER synthesizes an incredible wealth of archival material from various sources, some of it previously unreleased. Made as if narrated by Gould himself, HEREAFTER is a landmark in filmmaking as well as a fantastic window opened to the world of one of music’s true geniuses, whose magic touches us from beyond the grave.


• A former child prodigy, his piano artistry was unparalleled, yet he often received less recognition as a virtuoso than as a troubled eccentric; a disconnected recluse notorious for odd habits, his unique approach even extended to live performances, with him slumped over the keyboard, humming (sometimes singing) audibly as he played, while conducting with his free hand.
