Film Fest Gent - Videodroom 2026: Múm x 'La vie rêvée'

Experience the transcendent fusion of indie‑pop experimentation and cinematic storytelling at Videodroom’s exclusive concert film screening of *La Vie Rêvée*. Released in 1964, this quietly beautiful Canadian cult classic follows Isabelle, a young film‑company worker, as she navigates love, work, politics, and the elusive quest for the perfect partner, alongside her animator friend Virginie. Set against the sunlit streets of summer Montréal, Mireille Dansereau captures the era with tender warmth, using grainy 16mm footage and collage‑inspired editing that blurs the line between dream and reality—an intimate “home movie” that echoes the work of Agnès Varda and marks a milestone as Québec’s first feature directed by a woman. Now, prepare for a radical reinterpretation: Icelandic indie‑pop maestros **múm** will re‑score the film, blending gentle melodies, glitch‑filled electronica, field recordings, and acoustic textures into a fresh, immersive soundtrack. Joining them on stage is the celebrated composer and cellist **Hildur Guðnadóttir**, a long‑time collaborator whose award‑winning scores for *Joker*, *Chernobyl*, *TÁR*, and *Sicario: Day of the Soldado* bring a cinematic gravitas that complements múm’s evolving sonic universe. Together, múm and Guðnadóttir deliver the first-ever live soundtrack for *La Vie Rêvée*, turning the film into an unforgettable auditory and visual experience that celebrates female friendship, youthful ideals, and the shimmering dreamscape of this hidden gem. Don’t miss this special event—exclusively at Videodroom—where the film’s delicate emotional texture becomes a living, pulsing journey. Secure your tickets and discover all the details here.
