The Wake of Calum MacLeod (Scottish Gaelic: Faire Chaluim Mhic Leòid) is a Canadian drama short film, directed by Marc Almon and released in 2006.[1] The first film ever made in the Canadian dialect of the Scottish Gaelic language, the film stars Angus MacLeod as the titular Calum MacLeod, a father in Cape Breton who is at risk of losing his family because his insistence on the traditional ways conflicts with their preference for fitting into the modern world.[1]
The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 28th Genie Awards.[2] It later won the A&E Short Filmmakers Award at the National Screen Institute's Online Short Film Festival.[3]
