subtitles.
Martyn Thompson is from New Zealand. He teaches at the U of Louisiana
in Lafayette, married a Cajun girl and digs all francophone cultures
and lifestyles. At he end of the '70s he even played professional
rugby in a Burgundy team and is back tonight to attend the screening
of his documentary that shows the evolution of the Cajun people during
the last 80 years. Soundtrack by some Saulieu favorites such as Feu
Follet, Bonsoir Catin & Cedric Watson.
Crawfish
King (60') 2010, by Connie Castille & Allison Bohl
Two
of the most talented women filmmakers of Acadiana had the good sense
to film the wonderful crawfish festival in Breaux Bridge and to go
beyond the celebration showing the culinary and the economic role
of this legendary mudbug , inseparable of the Cajun way of life.
Zydeco Breakfast @ Café des Amis , collective
film, 2011, 30'
Located
a few miles from Lafayette, on the banks of the Bayou Teche, Breaux
Bridge has become a Mecca for artists and musicians. Its best known
landmark is the celebrated Café des Amis famous for its zydeco
breakfast, a truel American sensation.
Drew Landry, Last Man Standing, (excerpts) by Eric
Breaux & Lo Fu productions , 2010 (30')
Dirty
Cajuns is the name of his band. A fisherman, environmental activist
and folk singer, Drew Landry is the Woody Guthrie of the bayou who
made himself famous after testifying in front of a White House Enquiry
Commission after the big oil spill of Louisiana. His song " BP
Blues" has already reached cult status.
I Always Do My Collars First by Conni Castille &
Allison Bohl ( 24') In English with French subtitles.
Would
you believe it, a film about ironing? This is the first film by the
talented feminine duo who made "Crawfish King", applauded
in many film festivals including Cannes. It tells the story of four
dynamic Cajun women demonstrating how this simple ritual weaves its
way throughout the fabric of family life and their sense of identity.

Each
August, for the past 17 years, thousands of people attracted by Cajun
and Zydeco music will gather in the small town of Saulieu (Burgundy),
France to share great moments of music, dance, cinema and gastronomy
at the Cajun & Zydeco Music, Film & Food Festival.
In 2011, the Festival will celebrate its 18th anniversary, a good
occasion for having a great time and great bands !
The stars of this year's 2011 edition will be
LEE BENOIT & the Bayou Stompers (USA)
JEFFERY BROUSSARD & the Creole Cowboys (USA)
Those musicians are among the most outstanding in Louisiana for their
quality.
Supporting the great festival music line-up will also be River
Zydeco Band (NL), Zydegonutz (NL),
Colin & the Crawfish (GB), and the French
groups of 4 Jeun's, Tous les Temps en Temps, Mousse Espagnole,
Cajun Express and Blue Bayou.
The 11th edition of the Saulieu Louisiana Film Festival,
mastered by filmmaker Jean-Pierre Bruneau, will be
presenting film projects of music, history and culture of South Louisiana
on Thursday night 4th August.
An extensive training course of C/Z dance (conducted
by dance instructor teams of Yann Manac'h, Marilyn Catrix,
Sylviane Jean and Bernard Guihard)
and cajun instruments (conducted by instructors
Gilles
Kusmeruck ,
Vincent
Giarrusso, Agnès
Benar and
Christian Gualdi) will be held on Saturday.
(see
e-mail address above for registration)
As
for gastronomy, Michael Richard, the well renowned
Chef from Lafayette, Louisiana, will be cooking his Cajun specialties
at the 'Espace Restaurant' on Saturday and Sunday.
Finally,
the Festival will be extended beyond the regular weekend to Monday,
August 8th where we will move several miles down the road for a 'Louisiana
Night' at the club 'Le Cornemuse' in Arleuf
(20 miles distance) where Zydegonutz (NL) and
Colin & the Crawfish (GB). will perform
again.
The Saulieu area has a lot to provide in regards lodging
(top quality hotels, bed & breakfasts and campsites), food and
landscapes (gentle mountains and lakes of the Morvan area). All the
different festival locations are centered and can be reached on foot
in less than five minutes. From the Paris airports, it's very easy
to get to Saulieu by high speed train and bus.
