Since this Friday may likely find both amateur and professional Starksboro sugarers and their helpers and visitors NOT in steamy sugarhouses, perhaps this Québécois film about sugaring and its importance to our neighbors to the north will be of interest:
LE GOÛT D’UN PAYS/THE TASTE OF A COUNTRY (documentary, 1 h 42 min)
Is there a connection between making maple syrup and the essence of Québécois identity? This question takes an unexpected but entirely relevant turn in Le goût d’un pays. Centered on a poignant dialogue between Gilles Vigneault and Fred Pellerin, the film records the testimonials of amateur and professional producers, creating a tribute to one of our natural treasures. It is also a unique, positive reflection on the relationship between the people of Quebec and the land. In French with English subtitles.
Friday, March 3rd, 7pm, Cheray 101 (Science building), St. Michael's College, Colchester
