Celebrating Chiac - Part II

A documentary about Francophone Acadians in southeastern New Brunswick, and their relationship to language. 40 years after Michel Brault’s Éloge du chiac, Marie Cadieux travels to Moncton, Shediac, Bouctouche and even France, meeting people committed to safeguarding and valuing the specific character of Chiac. Featuring animated clips from Acadieman, this film elicits laughter and some teeth-gnashing, but is above all thought-provoking.

Notes

A viewing of Part I would be helpful prior to viewing Part 2. Pre-teach the term “Chiac,” since it is the primary focus of both films. Debate the use of Chiac and the negative connotations that the language has today. Identify Chiac’s primary speakers and the problems that it presents for them. Discuss Acadieman as a form of literature. Comment on the author’s purpose for creating it.
