Thirty-two short films about Glenn Gould

Thirty-two short films about Glenn Gould was published by Coach House Press in 1995 as a companion to the acclaimed biographical film of the same name. Directed by François Girard and co-written with Don McKellar, the film used a non-linear, impressionistic structure to explore the life and eccentricities of the celebrated Canadian pianist. This volume serves as an extension of that aesthetic, capturing the fragmented, kaleidoscopic approach to storytelling that defined Girard’s cinematic exploration of Gould's artistic genius.

The book functions as a hybrid document, blending script excerpts, production notes, and visual reflections that mirror the film's unique architecture. Its design reflects the minimalist and often stark sensibility associated with Gould’s own public persona and the avant-garde sensibilities of the 1990s Canadian film scene. Received as a thoughtful archival project, the publication remains a key item for cinephiles and music scholars interested in the intersection of biographical narrative and experimental film technique.
