Synopsis

Set in New Brunswick, *Éloge du chiac* presents an open discussion between a young French-language teacher and her students in Moncton. Through their conversations, Michel Brault examines the challenges of preserving French in a bilingual region where English is dominant, and explores the contested status of Chiac, a local French dialect shaped by centuries of linguistic contact.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
