This year, the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie (RVF) marks its 25th anniversary with the theme of celebration, and for the 18th year in a row, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) is taking part in the festivities, highlighting "the music of French"—the unique sound and feel of the French language and its diverse manifestations. 

With her new film Assez French (French Enough), singer-songwriter Alexis Normand illuminates the struggle and triumph of reclaiming francophone Canadian identity on the Prairies (18 mins, French with English subtitles). We will follow the screening with a discussion in French of issues raised in the film as a part of our weekly French Conversation Group. 

Mary Lambert’s highly interactive musical performance is filled with music about robins, frogs, baby chicks, green grass, budding trees, and all things spring!..... We will take a musical trip to a tropical destination to escape the winter blues, and then enjoy singing about all the wonderful things that spring to life in spring right here at home! Song, dance, colourful costumes and props and LOTS of audience participation are all a part of this 50 minute performance.
