Trécarré: À la source du son de la Baie Sainte-Marie (2024, 30 minutes), directed by Nathalie Robichaud: In Baie Sainte-Marie, Nova Scotia, music is deeply embedded in the DNA of the Acadian community. Bursting with vibrant talent, the local scene reinvents traditions, spreading its rhythms far beyond its borders. Trécarré immerses us in the magic of music that isn’t just heard—it’s shared, danced and lived, rich in both regional dialects and electrifying melodies.
This event is organized by Espaces francophones, une initiative conjointe entre Okanagan School of Education et Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, a pour mission de créer un sentiment de communauté parmi les francophones (de langue première ou autre) de UBCO.
