All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is an epic, emotional and interconnected story about internationally renowned artist and activist Nan Goldin told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography, and rare footage of her personal fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid crisis.
The film interweaves Goldin’s past and present, the deeply personal and urgently political, from P.A.I.N.’s (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now) actions at renowned art institutions to Goldin’s photography of her friends and peers through her epic The Ballad of Sexual Dependency and her legendary 1989, NEA-censored AIDS exhibition, Witness: Against Our Vanishing.
All The Beauty and The Bloodshed premiered in competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2022, where it picked up the Gold Lion. It has since gone on to sweep the festival and awards circuit, and is nominated for Best Documentary at the 2023 Academy Awards.
Exclusive screening for all registered AIDC 2023 delegates. Please show your pass at the door.
