Canada Vignettes – Log Drivers’ Waltz

This is a very Canadian unique short video that is a blend of animation and historic black and white footage created by John Weldon in 1979.

“A young girl who loves to dance and is ready to marry chooses a log driver over his more well-to-do, land-loving competition.

Driving logs down the river has made him the best dancing partner to be found. This lighthearted, animated tale is based on the song The Log Driver’s Waltz by Wade Hemsworth. Kate and Anna McGarrigle sing to the music of the Mountain City Four.” NFB

“We showcase films that take a stand on issues of global importance that matter to Canadians—stories about the environment, human rights, international conflict, the arts and more.” NFB
