What is the name of Beyoncé’s 2013 documentary film?
Answer
Life Is But a Dream
Beyoncé’s 2013 documentary film is titled Life Is But a Dream.
The documentary premiered on HBO on February 16, 2013, and follows Beyoncé during a period that included preparation for performances, professional decisions, and the birth of her first child, Blue Ivy Carter.
Beyoncé co-directed and executive produced the film, which combines interviews, personal video footage, rehearsal scenes, and concert material. Its title comes from the emotional and reflective tone of the project rather than from a concert-tour name.
Life Is But a Dream is often confused with Homecoming, the 2019 documentary about Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance, or Black Is King, the 2020 visual album. Those projects document different eras and use different formats. Life Is But a Dream is the earlier HBO documentary associated with her 2013 career period.
