The Dream and the Radio (French: Le rêve et la radio) is a Quebec/Canadian film directed by Renaud Després-Larose and Ana Tapia Rousiouk, released in 2022. 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. Mixing hybrid elements and using alienating visual and sound effects, the film also refer to experimental and political film movements from the 1920s and 1960s.
