As well as a respected musician, G. Scott MacLeod has been a successful painter for more than 20 years; for the last five filmmaking has become part of his palette. He has exhibited in Mexico, Germany, Ireland, Czech Republic, the US, and across Canada. Several museums own his paintings, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Museo Nacional de la Estampa, numerous corporate offices hang his works, and celebrities, such as Jane Goodall and Rick Mercer, collect his canvases. In film, his most recent project was a 22-minute documentary-animation, After the war with Hannelore – A Berliner war child’s testimony 1945–1989, which was featured at Arsenal, Berlin’s Institute for Film and Video Art. McLeod says he tries to make his art accessible while reflecting social, political, and historical themes. He has been awarded numerous arts grants and residencies, including two with the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos, New Mexico, and a four-year stint at Montreal’s Centre St-Ambroise. (PF)
