Marking the 25th anniversary of the Transmusicales de Rennes, this film offers a multifaceted look at the festival—now the premier French event for musical fusion and bold experimentation—through the anecdotes and memories of artists, journalists, and festival-goers.
True to the spirit of “Les Trans,” the stories are surprising, moving, and funny.
Seated in a large inflatable armchair, each person shares a memory directly with the camera—recounting a concert, an emotional moment, a discovery, an encounter, or a party.
Rather than a chronological account, the film presents a kaleidoscopic view of the Transmusicales.
These slices of the festival experience are illustrated with footage of concerts and the event’s unique atmosphere. Featured figures include Ben Harper, Daft Punk, Etienne Daho, the Morvan Brothers, Manu Chao, Keziah Jones, Stéphan Eicher, Denez Prigent, Amadou & Mariam, Yann Tiersen, Arno, Bérurier Noir, and many others, including journalists and festival-goers.
