While in his final year as a student at Conestoga College, he directed the 1975 film Metamorphosis,[1] inspired by Czech documentary filmmaker Vaclav Taborsky, which won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.[2] Upon graduation, he worked with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) as a film editor, before directing documentary films independently.[3]

Greenwald's films include the 1990 one-hour documentary Between Two Worlds, about Inuit Joseph Idlout. Produced by the NFB and Investigative Productions Inc., the film is included in the 2011 Inuit film collection, Unikkausivut: Sharing Our Stories.[4]
