- Laura Poitras, artist Nan Goldin, P.A.I.N. activists Harry Cullen & Megan Kapler, and lawyer Mike Quinn discuss their NYFF60 Centerpiece selection All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim, at the press conference.
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed opens on November 23rd at Film at Lincoln Center! Get tickets: www.filmlinc.o...
In her essential, urgent, and arrestingly structured new documentary from Participant, Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras (Citizenfour) weaves two narratives: the fabled life and career of era-defining artist Nan Goldin and the downfall of the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical dynasty Goldin personally took on in her fight to hold accountable those responsible for the deadly opioid epidemic. Following her own personal struggle with opioid addiction, Goldin, who rose from the New York “No Wave” underground to become one of the great photographers of the late 20th century, put herself at the forefront of the battle against the Sacklers, both as an activist at art institutions around the world that had accepted millions from the family and as an advocate for the destigmatization of drug addiction. Illustrated with a rich trove of photographs by Goldin, who mesmerizingly narrates her own story, including her dysfunctional suburban upbringing, the loss of her teenage sister, and her community’s fight against AIDS in the 1980s, Poitras’s film is an enthralling, empowering work that stirringly connects personal tragedy, political awareness, and artistic expression. A NEON release.
All NYFF60 documentaries are presented by HBO.

Being the Mother of a very cherished son lost to the addiction to opiods, just amazes me how God works in miraculous ways by directing us towards people and connections that connect one to the most life shattering events. I believe that it has to do with the extremely long time involved with closure.
Thank you so very much for your intelligence, courage, and endurance with your story. My son did not want to die. He overdosed after coming out of his last rehab in which he was clean after struggling 17 years. Truth and honesty is the character that God sees not reputation.
Its not only in USA that people suffer of Amnesia...here too in Canada specialy in Québec.Watching this incredible documentory and learning about Nan's courage gives hope for thruth in the future.
The entire movie/doc is so intense. Everything from Nan's personal family history to their close great friends, all the losses, the AIDS fight up to the glorious fight against these evil Sackler empire.
Saw this film last night and loved it. Extremely tactical storytelling, both of Nan's history and the ongoing opioid crisis and negligence of the DOJ.
🙌🏽Respect! And let's all keep the activism going!!!🙌🏽
So Brave, thank you all.
I just watched the film on Crave here in Canada. Wonderfully put together, and good work done by all.
