SUMMARY:Black Soul + MacPherson + Oscar
DESCRIPTION:\n\nBlack Soul\nMartine Chartrand\n\n2000 | 9 min\n\n\n\n\n\nT
 his documentary reveals some of the hidden history of Blacks in Canada. In
  the 1930s in rural Ontario\, a farmer buried the tombstones of a Black ce
 metery to make way for a potato patch. In the 1980s\, descendants of the o
 riginal settlers\, Black and White\, came together to restore the cemetery
 \, but there were hidden truths no one wanted to discuss. Deep racial woun
 ds were opened. Scenes of the cemetery excavation\, interviews with reside
 nts and re-enactments—including one of a baseball game where a broken he
 adstone is used for home plate—add to the film's emotional intensity.\n\
 n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nMacPherson\nMartine Chartrand\n2012 | 10 min\n\n\n\n\nTh
 is animated film by Martine Chartrand (Black Soul) recounts the friendship
  between a young Félix Leclerc and Frank Randolph Macpherson\, a Jamaican
  chemical engineer and university graduate who worked for a pulp and paper
  company. An inveterate jazz fan\, Macpherson inspired Leclerc\, who wrote
  a song about the log drives and entitled it “MacPherson” in honour of
  his friend. Paint-on-glass animation shot with a 35mm camera.\n\n\n&nbsp\
 ;\n\nOscar\nMarie-Josée Saint-Pierre\n2016 | 12 min\n\n\n\n\nBrilliantl
 y mixing animated sequences and archival footage\, Marie-Josée Saint-Pier
 re paints a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson. As with 
 her previous films (McLaren’s Negative and Jutra)\, Saint-Pierre pursues
  her bold and personal approach with this animated documentary of Oscar Pe
 terson at the twilight of an exceptional career\, as he wistfully meditate
 s on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family li
 fe.\n\n\nFor more info\, click here\n
