2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Theo Anthony’s All Light, Everywhere

Published on November 13, 2020

While working on this long form project, Theo Anthony has been keeping busy with short projects in 2019’s Subject to Review (a docu that looks at the nature of measurement in the sport of tennis) and Coffin Maker. He made a name for himself with Rat Film (2016), and his follow-up in All Light, Everywhere could be finally ready for the festival waters in 2021. He received coin from Rooftop Films Fund, Cinereach, was named a Sundance Art of Non-Fiction Fellow and this received support from Sundance Institute’s Science Sandbox Nonfiction Initiative.

Gist: This explores the past, present, and future relationships between technology, vision, and power. From arcane theories of sight to the emergence of virtual reality and police body camera programs, the film takes a kaleidoscopic investigation into how the reality of what we see is constructed through the tools that we use to see.

Production Co./Producers: MEMORY’s Riel Roch-Decter and Sebastian Pardo

Prediction: U.S. DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION.
