Hans Richter’s modernist documentary challenges the structured, patriarchal norms of 1920s cinema by focusing on the chaotic sensory experience of a carnival. This approach avoids rigid social hierarchies and moralities typical of the era. The film’s strength lies in its cultural subversion, rejecting traditional order and highlighting a subjective, sensory reality. However, its documentary format does not provide specific demographic representations, such as LGBTQ+ identities or disability, leaving these aspects unverified.

Official Synopsis
A day at the carnival — sensational tent shows where miracles can be seen for the price of admission, boisterous noise of crowds and barkers, shrill and gaudy circus music, the violence of the street ten-fold. This is the substance of Everything Turns, Richter’s first sound film. At its premier at Baden-Baden Richter got into a fight with two Nazi officials who disliked the film's ‘modernism.’ Yet in 1936 it was awarded first prize for artistic merit by the Nazis, with Richter’s name suppressed from the credits. He had long since left Germany.
