Renaud Després-Larose & Ana Tapia Rousiouk – Le rêve et la radio AKA The Dream and the Radio (2022)

Quote:
On the basis of their own creative, political and financial struggles, two filmmakers – along with composer Geneviève Ackerman – decide to play the lead roles in a B-movie inspired scenario, creating a diffracted projection of their own concerns with the state of things. Shot over a three-year period with an old analog camera, no budget, financial or professional support, The Dream and the Radio was entirely produced with the help of friends, neighbours and homeless people. Mixing hybrid elements and using alienating visual and sound effects, the film refers to experimental and political film movements from the 1920s and 1960s. It had its world premiere in the Tiger Competition of the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in January 2022, and was followed by selections in Berlin Critics’ Week and DocLisboa International Film Festival, among others. It was considered by many critics to be one of the most challenging films of the 2022 Tiger Competition, including Cahiers du cinéma, Film Comment and Mubi Notebook. The film was particularly praised for its visual (“some of the most memorable and gorgeous images to come out of the movies this year”), its exploratory use of sound (“one of the most ingenious uses of sound and of sound distortion I have heard in recent films”) and its political dimension (“the film exude a common sense of urgency in the face of structural neglect, offering a blank canvas for generational discontent to fully erupt”).
