L'Empremier Live at Beaubassin (1970) is a Canadian mockumentary film, written and directed by Rémi Belliveau and released in 2023.
[1] A pastiche of the 1972 Pink Floyd musical documentary film Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii, the film centres on L'Empremier, a progressive rock band led by transgender musician Joan Dularge who perform rock renditions of traditional Acadian music, as they prepare for and perform a concert at the historic Fort Beauséjour site in 1970.
[2] Joan Dularge is a character who frequently recurs in Belliveau's artistic work, which explores the Acadian cultural renaissance of the late 1960s and early 1970s through an LGBTQ perspective.
[1] The cast also includes Katrine Noël, Mico Roy, Jason LeBlanc, Pierre-Guy Blanchard and Marie-Andrée Gaudet as the other band members.
[3] It was later screened as the opening film of the 2023 Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie,[1] where it won the award for Best Acadian Feature Film.
