Trees look like candy and grass looks like something you could live in forever - and none of it is real…

Landscapes: Alex McLeod is a short documentary film produced in 2019. It’s directed by Priscilla Galvez and Jeff Pavlopoulos and produced by CBC Arts.

Toronto-based visual artist Alex McLeod uses digital technology as a playground — it's his interface for exploring nature, simulating landscapes and becoming a creator of artificial worlds (not unlike the designers of the topography in games like World of Warcraft or Diablo). In fact, it's hard for him to stop.
