Light food and drinks will be offered to attendees.

Logistics:In French with English subtitles. Open to everyone upon registration.

Synopsis: Résonance Acadie follows the journey of ten young artists from the Acadian diaspora, who are invited to create a work of art in just eight days during the World Acadian Congress in Nova Scotia. They dive into the worlds of music, theater, cinema, dance, and visual arts, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, and choose to redefine Acadian heritage through their more contemporary vision. The film captures the creative process of these young talents, driven by a genuine passion for their culture, as they explore their Acadian identity.

Organized by the Princeton University's Princeton Film Festival organization. We thank our sponsors and partners for their support (complete list ). Open to everyone regardless of identity. All rooms are wheelchair-friendly and attendees can contact us at [email protected] for special accommodations (preferably 48 hours before the scheduled event). Please be aware that pictures might be taken before, during, and after the event.
