1h 9m
Wood engraver, artist, printer and time traveler, George A. Walker has created a distinct world of books, imagery and ideas. Woodwriter follows the journey from a blank maple wood block to a sculptural hand-made book, exploring the lives of Canadian icons including Mary Pickford, Leonard Cohen and Conrad Black. About art and its makers, this film is peppered with Canadian culture and shows that the past and present never stop talking to each other, even if it’s without words.
