He was born in Toronto, in 1929, to a French-Canadian mother and an English-Canadian father. He is considered internationally as one of the most important contemporary artists in the world. From Wavelength, the film that established him in 1967 as a major avant-garde filmmaker, to his latest feature, Corpus Callosum, which was ten years in the making, he pursues his always fascinating multi-disciplinary research and exploration with the same ardor as ever. Snow himself admits: �My paintings are made by a filmmaker, my sculptures by a musician, my films by a painter, my music by a filmmaker, my paintings by a sculptor, my sculptures by a filmmaker, my films by a musician, my music by a sculptor... and sometimes, they all work together.”
