Y A UNE ÉTOILE (THERE’S A STAR)
Julien Cadieux, Canada, 2023, 72 min.
Ontario premiere
Samuel LeBlanc, a young transgender musician, undertook an artistic approach to find a rural queer community in his native Acadia. During his wanderings, he discovers, behind the heteronormative rural landscapes, people determined to live their differences without having to leave their hometown or deny their cultural identity to get there. Samuel will come out with the conviction that the rural queer reality in Acadia, although sometimes difficult, has its share of beauty and community acceptance and that a queer Acadia can and does exist.
