L’Acadie

1979 • Directed by

Robert Russett

An album-like collection of nine personal reflections on various aspects of the French Acadian region of Louisiana. Each of these reflections, or what I term “Ektachrome Sketches," consists of a single subject which undergoes a series of ongoing structural transformations. These transformations substantially alter the field of vision by adding a subjective layer of meaning to the dramatic content of recorded reality. —Robert Russett
