Centerpiece: All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

Nan Goldin is renowned for her vivid, vérité portraits; frames of ordinary people captured in their glamorous and messy lives. Originally a fringe post-punk creative, Goldin built a dazzling career in cinema and photography while wrestling with grief, violence, and trauma. When addiction to OxyContin threatens her life, Goldin turns her piercing attention to the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma and profiteers of the opioid crisis. Art and activism blend together in this incendiary profile, as one woman strives to reconcile her past while holding the powerful accountable. Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, this complex exploration of a singular artist’s life, work, and perseverance is impossible to forget.
