       2014., 20 min, MacLeod Nine Productions Call No: DVD Fic Irishman (2014)    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: The Water of Life SeriesSummary Note: In The Irishman - Child of the Gael, our narrator, Sean recounts his maternal and paternal ancestors' dramatic immigrant experiences in Canada from the 1800s to the early 20th century. Fleeing desperate conditions in Ireland, survival in the new world is a struggle of a different sort, involving quarantine, isolation and backbreaking employment, building the Victoria Bridge, constructing the railways and canals that will open Canada's frontiers to trade and settlement. In The Irishman - Child of the Gael, Montreal filmmaker G. Scott MacLeod fuses rich pencil animation with new digital media to provide a deeply moving depiction of an iconic early Canadian immigrant experience. Written and narrated by Burns, a celebrated Montreal storyteller, The Irishman - Child of the Gael is the story of thousands of Irish immigrants to this country who arrived to unthinkable conditions and who went on to build the very roads and railways that made prosperity possible.

       2012., 16 min, MacLeod Nine Productions Call No: DVD Fic Saga    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: The Water of Life Series   Volume: 2Summary Note: Expelled from their land on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, Murdo MacLeod and his clan are given passage as ballast on a timber ship bound for Lower Canada. It is the late 1830s. Those who survive the voyage arrive in Quebec City with nothing more than axes in hand and speaking only Gaelic amongst the French and English population. With winter fast approaching, they find their only hope for survival in the hands of an unlikely ally. Marrying MacLeod’s painterly animations with Burns’ spellbinding storytelling, this film provides a deeply moving depiction of an early Canadian immigrant experience. It is the second film in The Water of Life animated series.
