Start with two sex workers, end with vampires

The title isn't much of a spoiler, I mean you find out pretty quick that the red hair the protagonist is interested in is kind sort of vampire. I read the book this is based on a long time ago. Back when I wasn't allowed by my parents to read horror books. I had to stay in the library and read it there. Let's hope the adaptation is good.

Un regard sur : L'arracheuse de temps (film)

L’arracheuse de temps est un film québécois sorti en 2021. C’est un conte moderne (créé par Fred Pellerin à la fin des années 2000), mais l’histoire se passe au Québec d’antan (il y a 100 ans). Le film commence dans les années 1980 avec une grand-mère qui raconte une histoire rocambolesque à son petit-fils. L’histoire parle de la mort qui arrive au petit village et la façon dont la grand-mère…

The Finish Line

As of last night, the final cut of The Memory Keeper has been submitted. The past week was spent polishing the sound design (so much sound design), including the addition of a song, as well as finalizing the color grading. 

Ethan, the primary producer, and I also completed the dialogue and music cue sheets, respectively. These documents are used to ensure we have all the rights for the soundtrack, as well as help with subtitling and any translations. 

Now, we just wait for the premiere!! May 9th, in Portland, our festival will go live. I am so excited, and so so proud of everyone who worked on this film, as well as the other films within the festival/class. Thank you for all the support!

This will be my last blog post now that the film is completed. If you’d like to keep in touch, follow our Instagram @thememorykeeperFILM. 

For the last time, 

Kathryn Morin - Director

L’univers des vidanges

Récapitulons quelques épisodes antérieurs. Au Québec, surtout dans la langue populaire, les ordures sont des vidanges (au pluriel). Les vidangeurs sont responsables de leur collecte. Cette collecte a lieu le jour des vidanges. Elle requiert des camions de vidange. Précisons. Existe aussi le camion à vidanges (Créatures du hasard, p. 125).

Oohhh a French speaking AFTG fan!

Can I ask what’s the general opinion on the Marseille accent? What do Canadians think of it? Is it fancy? Or rough?

ouhh what a question anon! i'm tagging @givemethedamnflowers so she can help me out too if u want to <3

also i don't speak for all Franco Canadians / Québécois. fiy. ya know.

as a Québécoise first and foremost (Canadian comes 2nd in how i view my identity), and as someone WHO HAS A MOREAU FROM MARSEILLES in my close family, i love the accent. to me it's somehow much less grating than the Parisian accent (not the international French accent, that one's ok) despite being much more pronounced and how do you say... quirky? not weird, but like it's definitely peculiar. special! i like it a lot. it also makes me love Jean Moreau even more because it adds character, an edge, another area of fondness. i personally think it's very easy to spot, but contrary to the north of France, it's easier to understand.

i would say the most northern accents are much rougher, more difficult to understand than Marseilles or Paris, also because of the disparity in colloquialisms and regional expressions. but i do love them so. Bourgogne?? Normandie?? oh how lovely. and then down down down down south, neighbor to Marseilles, l'Occitanie (a fave)!!! oh and la Corse!!! so so beautiful to me. music to my ears. maybe bc, as Québécoise, like i said, i feel a little kinship with those regions' accents, bc the Paris/Île-de-France spit upon our accents as shitty, ridiculous, "not real French" or generally make fun of us, like we're somehow less smart bc of the way we pronounce things and speak with our accent. in my experience! and trust me, i've had a lottttttt of 'em. so the little scene where Jean keeps being annoyed by Thea calling him 'Paris' when he's from Marseilles? ACCURATE & GOLDEN! made me smile.

that being said, as it has been discussed many many times in the fandom, characters like Neil, Kevin and Jean, and even Andrew and Nicky, have such wild backgrounds, with how much they move around geographically + their mixed heritage, that all of them must have unique accents you can't really pin down. Jean left Marseilles at 14, was homeschooled, then forced to learn Japanese then English, in West Virginia, from native Japanese speakers. he doesn't have the Marseilles slang, the refs; his French is stuck at that level and it can't progress, and he also probably loses a lot of it, breaking down over time. finding his words must be a a nightmare. imagine trying to translate a word that isn't even considered French nor translatable outside of Marseilles' region!!! also, how old were his parents? what generation of slang has he picked up by default? or was he, sadly, taught international French?

SO MANY QUESTIONS! UGH! aftg & languages, French specifically, give me a headache (and heartache) every time.

i would say, watch films and series! please! from every part of the Francophonie around the world! Belgium, Louisiana Cajun, Acadia, Québec, Marseilles, Niger... it's a beautiful language, despite his devastating shameful hand in colonization and racism. the way the people forced to learn and speak it to survive have all found ways to make it theirs in infinite ways that help the language evolve and become richer. French is as much theirs now, if not more. French is much more that than the Republic. French is not Paris.

thank you again anon for allowing me to go off on a tangent, and apologies if there are any mistakes, misinformation or harmful things. please let me know kindly and i'll own to it and correct anything that needs correcting!

Canada might have universal healthcare and better gun laws than the U.S. but it for sure isn’t showing that it’s better for the Jews. I lived there for four years getting my bachelors degree and both my parents are still there.

Three days ago, on March 19, a big Jewish cultural event was cancelled. They used the same old excuse of “security concerns.” But it’s just another example of Canada not protecting Jews and not giving us space to celebrate our culture in film and media.

This comes shortly after Canada announced that they would no longer be selling weapons to Israel. Canada only provides 1% of Israel’s military aid so practically it doesn’t mean a lot. But symbolically this is a huge deal.

A day after the cancellation of the event, a Montreal newspaper printed an antisemitic cartoon. And not “Jews are overreaching” antisemitic, but “this could’ve been found in a German newspaper in the 1940s” antisemitic. It’s horrific that so many people had to sign off on this in order for it to be printed and it got approved.

And that’s just in the last few days.

On March 7 this was found on a bus stop sign in Toronto:

And back in November this happened at the Starbucks I worked at for almost 2 years. It is located in the middle of a community with a large Jewish population, just down the street from multiple Kosher restaurants. I messaged my previous co-workers to see if they were okay but no one messaged me or checked in on me.

And I'm sure there's so much more that I don't know of.

The Jewish community in Canada is feeling angry and disappointed for good reason. This is not okay, and the things that happened this week pushed me over the edge to make this post. I don’t know how to feel, and I’m worried about my friends and family.

Hello bonjour!

I've been thinking something recently...

As a fellow Canadian (hey!) with some, uh, less than magnifique French language skills, I was wondering how you think our dear francophone Rook Hunt would behave around someone with "cereal box French" (that is, able to understand it, but cannot speak it)?

Would he speak the same amount of the language around you? Even more French? Would he offer to teach the language?

I'm curious as to what you think! :)

Bonjour! I too only have "cereal box French" about the same literacy as a third-grader. even though I have 8 years of classes under my belt, but that's the education system for ya. And also, yes, a fellow Canadian; always a pleasant surprise! But here are my thoughts!

Some of the French is what I remember plus a bit of Word Reference, and much to the dismay of every French teacher that I ever had, Google Translate to fill in the gaps.

Rook Hunt with a Reader Who Has "Cereal Box" French

Okay, so he would notice that, unlike the others, you seemed like you were following along with what he was saying. "Tu parles français, trickster?" He would ask, resting his chin on his hand, waiting for an answer.

"Un petit peu," you answered. "Honestly though, I can only read it. Speaking it? Well, it isn't great. I call it 'cereal box' French."

He would smile, "Well, reading is a start. And, if you want trickster, I could teach you."

If You Accept His Offer

He would be an amazing teacher and would go at your preferred pace. Having difficulty with that one phrase? He's patient and will help you. "Très bien! Bien travail, trickster! For that one word, I would recommend rolling the 'r' a bit more."

He would ask you if you wanted to improve your accent while speaking it, so it isn't a "baguette accent" as some would put it.

It would start small, such as asking, "Comment ça va?" and seeing how long you would be able to keep the conversation going. He would be proud if you just gave him a, "Ça va bien" or proceeded to say a bit more.

Would pass you notes just in français. "Lisez ceci plus tard, mon chou.~" You can decide whether or not you want to bring up him calling you his cabbage.

His use of French would increase as your skill does. Even though it may be fun that you understand what he's saying, he would much rather speak with you. It would be a nice change of pace since no one that he knows, outside of his own family of course, speaks the language. No, Rollo does not count.

Learning through cooking would also occur. Since you did, after all, call it 'cereal box' French. "Passe l'oeuf s'il te plait, trickster. Merci beaucoup!~"

If You Deny His Offer

He would still speak the same amount of French, but he won't push to teach you if you didn't want to. Maybe just a tad more, but not by much.

He would probably be a tad bit disappointed, but wouldn't show it. At least you know some of what he's saying, and that in itself is enough for him.

Would surprise you with some family recipes that were left in his care by his arrière grand-mère, seeing if you can understand the words by yourself before helping out if you have any difficulties.

Overall, I see Rook as being pleasantly surprised but also happy, regardless or not if the reader takes him up on his offer to teach them. But very relaxed on the subject, not pushing them if they didn't want to learn. Taking it at your own pace with a gentle hand. Also, you two would probably watch French soap operas and films, just saying.

And I'm so sorry if you, much like I did, had to sit through French class watching Téléfrançais. Also, I do love the Québécois Rook headcanon, but I do know it's very niche.

I hope that you enjoyed the little headcanons. Rook, please hold French classes for those of us who want to learn.
