And the Oscar goes to...

Okay so we have not come to that point yet, but take a look at two Canadian animated shorts up for Oscars. Which film do you prefer?

NFB garnered its 71st and 72nd Oscar-nominated film with Sunday by Patrick Doyon, and Wild Life, by Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby. Congratulations!

Charming Chanel

Chanel does it again with an intriguing animated short entitled, Dancing Chanel. Watch it here.

"Fashion film animator Quentin Jones has worked with ballet dancer Emma Chadwick – dressed in Chanel’s unforgettable spring/summer 2011 collection - to create this masterpiece for VogueTV.

Fashion at its most artistic."

The Secret

Oscar nominated film "The Secret of Kells" tells a Celtic story through magical visuals and haunting imagery.

Martine Chartrand

Martine Chartrand is an illustrator, classical animator and filmmaker. Technique: painting on glass. Her artistic styling reflects the expression of histories and interpretation of the message while maintaining a spirit-filled and textured imagery. Both humanism and conscience in nature, her labour-intensive films mirror social realities. Martine does it best!

Here is one of our favourites, Âme Noire (Black Soul), which won 22 awards. Watch as a young boy traces his roots through the animated stories his grandmother shares with him about the events that shaped their cultural heritage.
