The Dream Syndicate: How Did We Find Ourselves Here?

Emiel Spoelder
2023/ The Netherlands / 106 min.

Dutch Premiere

During the era of hyper-formulated pop music in the early 1980s, The Dream Syndicate emerged from Los Angeles as a sensation with their gritty, guitar-driven sound that relied heavily on feedback.

How Did We Find Ourselves Here? chronicles the band’s journey from their early beginnings, through conflicts with former friends, battles with major record labels, and disbandment, to their eventual reunion in 2012. Despite never achieving widespread commercial success, the band maintains a devoted fanbase and commands great respect from musicians around the globe for their significant influence.

*Director Emiel Spoelder will be present to participate in a Q&A, hosted by music journalist Oscar Smit (Q&A is in Dutch!)
