Join us for the premiere of a 45‑minute documentary exploring Quebec City through the experiences of three English-speaking newcomers. Set within a predominantly francophone environment, the film traces their daily lives as they navigate language, identity, and belonging in the city. Personal stories are complemented by insights from local English-language organizations engaged in reception and settlement work, as well as a broader look at the history of English-language immigration to Quebec City. Blending video ethnography and research-creation, the documentary by QUESCREN Research Associate Anita Aloisio captures adaptation in real time. Screening followed by Q&A and refreshments.

December 9, 2026, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.
