Exquisitely shot and edited, Everything That Will Happen... evokes memories of great cinema from the past, when filmmakers were more adventurous in exploring the medium. The film is a collage of stories from around the world, tied together by a chance encounter and unusual romance between Alice, a philosophy student, and a mysterious stranger. Alice collects the world stories for her dissertation. Alternating between tales of loss and yearning, poetry and reflection, the film weaves together a kaleidoscope of what the world is like at this moment. Through some of its cinematic quotes and one poignant short story, the film also reflects on cinema and representation in our times. Everything That Will Happen... is a fascinating journey, like a mix between Baraka, Man With A Movie Camera, and an avant-garde film from the past, re-imagined to the era of digital cinema. It presents a world once again deep in turmoil through a poetic lens - an experience to be savored, with images and scenes that will linger long after the film is over.
