Film Description: "Acadia is a changing society at a crossroads. With citizens increasingly feeling abandoned by politicians, do artists have a role to play in society? Rooted firmly in the present while drawing lessons from the past, A Place That Matters follows its subjects as they reimagine life in their community through a series of collective initiatives. The documentary takes us to Sainte-Anne-du-Bocage, a neighbourhood of Caraquet, New Brunswick, and home to a once-thriving Youth Club, an abandoned cultural and community space that also belongs to the historical legacy of Acadie's first architect, Nazaire Dugas. Purchased a few years ago by writer France Daigle, and now undergoing renovation, the hall has become the rallying point for a group of Acadian artists and friends who want to resurrect the original spirit of this place. As Daigle restores the run-down roadside building, musician René Cormier and theatre artist Allain Roy prepare for its grand opening show. [...]" -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
