BIOGRAPHY

Martine Chartrand completed a BFA in visual arts at Concordia University and a certificate in art education from the Université du Québec à Montréal. She is a Quebecoise-Haitian painter and filmmaker. In 1992, she directed the award-winning short T.V. Tango, for the NFB. In 1994, she received a grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and from the Canada Council for the Arts enabling her to study in Russia under Alexander Petrov, a master of paint-on-glass animation. In 2000, she made her second NFB’s film, Black Soul. A paint-on-glass animated short that traces the memory of Black History, the film has won 23 awards, including the Golden Bear in Berlin 2001.

Her third film, MacPherson, inspired by the song by Félix Leclerc, is a paint-on glass animated film bursting with poetry, history and musical diversity. MacPherson won the First prize and The Best Canadian Short Film public award, at the Montreal International World Film Festival in 2012. Martine is regularly invited to different countries to give masterclasses.
