This 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.
Martin Chartrand is a close friend, I met her at National Film Board of Canada, During my contract with "Come again in Spring" She such an amazing person and artist. I am really glad I have met her.
Watch the trailer of her film, it is a beautiful story.
