As each page in the book transforms into the next, the boy becomes fully immersed into the story and begins to discover how those events molded their unique culture today. ThemesMemoryThe animated film deals with the idea of memory in the ways it explores the existence of slavery in Canada. At the end of the film, just before the credits there is a blurb reading: "In Canada, there were Amerindian and Black Slaves from the XVII to the XIX century".[2] Although some would argue that black slavery in Canada was not significant or widely prevalent, it did exist and the enslavement practiced in Canada was illegal for some time.[3] When it was made into law, its purpose was to help drive the economy but was abolished when proven unfeasible.[4] The film honours the memories of slaves and fugitives during that time by telling their stories. The boy is often placed in these significant scenes in history so that he can perhaps identify their struggles. Through this experience, he sees the linkage between their triumphs and the opportunities he's afforded, finding the strength within himself to overcome the challenges that may emerge just as his ancestors did before him. ProductionChartrand utilizes a traditional animation technique known as paint-on-glass animation. It is considered one of the most demanding animation techniques.[5] Chartrand familiarized herself with this technique when directing [https://www.nfb.ca/film/macpherson_en/ MacPherson] and since mastered.[6] The process involves manipulating wet media on a glass sheet/sheets, that's often placed on a projector for lighting purposes, all under the lens of a camera recording. Oil paint is often used because it dries slowly which allows an artist to work on a project for longer periods of time. The effect of this technique is the illusion of images seamlessly merging from one scene into the next[7] It's interesting to consider how through this technique, art is continuously destroyed and an image can never be restored to its originality. It almost seems ironic in the context of Black Soul which aims to preserve history but is also symbolic in the ways that history sets the foundation for the future and determination to never return to the way society was structured in the past.
