The dream and the radio
The RVQCs are not lacking in interesting novelties, whether Noémie says yes (opening movie), Ines and The cheaters (closing movie). We can also discover The dream and the radio by Renaud Després-Larose and Ana Tapia Rousiouk in North American premiere, after a detour to the prestigious festivals of Rotterdam and Berlin. It is a fascinating opus in many respects, playful and experimental, on the desires of revolution of youth. A huge crush on this essay that Jean-Luc Godard would not have denied.
