Oscar Buzz for ‘All The Beauty and the Bloodshed’ that Explores Sackler Family Murderers

FILMS CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE –

Jan. 5, 2023  – Poitras, who won a best documentary Oscar in 2014 for Citizenfour, about ex-CIA contractor Edward Snowden, thanked the Venice Film Festival jury at the time for “recognising that documentary is cinema”.

Speaking more generally about her work, Poitras has said: “I do make films about political issues that I care about, but I want them to work as films. I’m passionate about cinema and every time a documentary is successful, it’s successful for all of us who make them.”

It tells the story of how New York-based Goldin and the advocacy organisation Pain (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now) took direct action at the world’s most famous art galleries in protest at their ties with the Sacklers. Museums including the V&A, the Tate in London and the Louvre in Paris have dropped their connections.
