Description

Join the Museum of Work and Culture for Ciné-Québec, an evening of Québécois cinema in celebration of the month of Francophonie on Thursday, March 5. The evening will begin at 6 pm with a wine and cheese reception, followed by a screening of the film La Bolduc at 7 pm.

Known to the world as “La Bolduc,” singer-songwriter Mary Rose-Anne Travers Bolduc was a French-Canadian folk musician who blended Irish and Québec styles. Known as the Queen of Canadian Folk Singers in the 1930s, she pioneered Québec's singer-songwriter tradition and is credited with revitalizing the Quebec folk genre in the 20th century. This biopic, directed by François Bouvier and starring Debbie Lynch-White, tells the story of Bolduc, whose lively onstage personality and culturally-influenced musical style made her a hit with working-class audiences in the 1930s.  La Bolduc was one of the highest-grossing Canadian films of 2018 and was a nominee for the Prix Iris for Best Film. 

La Bolduc will be presented in French, with English subtitles

Ciné-Québec is made possible by the Québec Delegation in Boston.
