There Will Be Everything – Maestro Radovan Papovic is a feature-length documentary dedicated to the life and work of the distinguished Montenegrin conductor, educator, and artist Radovan Papovic. Through the testimonies of those who knew him, the film creates an intimate portrait of a man whose professional and artistic legacy has shaped generations. Combining documentary footage, archival materials, and poetic visual sequences, the film explores the relationship between memory, transience, and artistic heritage. Thematically structured around the different stages of Papovic’s life, from his earliest musical beginnings to his mature creative years, the film reveals both his human and artistic dimensions. The concluding segment, based on an authentic audio recording of a conversation with his daughter, raises questions of endurance, remembrance, and the responsibility of future generations to preserve valuable works from oblivion, transforming the film into a universal story about life, art, and eternity.
The film won the GRAND PRIX – Desimir Stanojević Award for Best Director at City Fest 2026.
