EVERYTHING MUST GO

About This Movie

Everything Must Go is a documentary that dives deep into the heart of gentrification through the lens of artist João Fiadeiro and his companions. The film has this raw, almost intimate quality—like you're privy to a private farewell party, where every frame feels charged with nostalgia and urgency. There's a slow, meditative pacing that really lets the themes of occupation, disbanding, and reclamation sink in. The practical effects, mostly just the real spaces and people, add layers of authenticity. It's not about flashy visuals but rather a study of relationships and time amidst a changing city landscape. The performances, particularly from those involved in the project, feel genuine and layered, capturing a collective spirit that feels both heavy and celebratory.
