“This film is one of those revelatory experiences that make you want to get up and do something.'' (Wim Wenders)
ABOUT THE FILM: When a living legend like Wim Wenders ("Paris, Texas"; "The Million Dollar Hotel"; "Buenavista Social Club”) decides to appear as a future version of himself in a movie, there must be something outstanding about it. The idea of the film is brilliant: We see our time through the eyes of our grandchildren, many years ahead. By the means of a fable, disguised as a documentary from the future, we understand that the era we critizise so much will actually be seen as the good old days. A true eye-opener. Rarely have the devastating effects of climate change and mass extinction been explained in a better way. The director is Marten Persiel, who won the Berlinale Perspektive 2014 with his acclaimed and controversial “This Ain't California”.
ABOUT THE MUSIC: Gary Marlowe began playing piano at four, turned into a synthesizer prodigy and much respected “synth god”, shared the stage with Iggy Pop and The Ramones, became a No.1 hit songwriter, and Gold Record winning producer. He is an official Steinway Artist, and has won numerous international awards for his film scores, which combine synthesizers, piano, electronica and orchestra to create unexpected, beautifully human sound worlds.
Marlowe came to "Everything Will Change" probably by destiny. He found a synopsis snippet online, was totally fascinated by the idea to tell a politically relevant story about our time from the perspective of the future, and managed to track down the director who wrote this. When Marten Persiel and Gary Marlowe first met, they were wearing almost identical hats, and found out both are nature-loving surfers. Big smiles.
