Laura Poitras’ “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” Steve James’ “A Compassionate Spy” and Evgeny Afineevsky’s “Freedom on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom” are among 11 doc…
this year, with Poitras’ competition title vying for a Golden Lion — a rare feat for a doc at a major international film festival.
Braun is repping “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” and recently sold the film’s North American distribution rights to Neon. Centred on photographer Nan Goldin’s battle against the notorious big-pharma Sackler family — recently the subject of Hulu series “Dopesick” — Poitras’ “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” is the Oscar-winning director’s first time at the Lido.“I have heard nothing but great things about Venice,” says James. “It’s a great launch for the film.
In addition to “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” and “A Compassionate Spy,” several other documentaries are making their world premieres out of competition at the Lido, including Oliver Stone’s “Nuclear,” Guy Davidi’s “Innocence” and Gianfranco Rosi’s “In Viaggio.” Like Venice, in recent years, the Berlinale has also considered documentaries to be an art form instead of a programming afterthought. All told, the February 2022 Berlinale featured 50 documentaries, though only one, Rithy Panh’s “Everything Will Be Ok,” was eligible to compete for the Golden and Silver Bears.
Of “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” Barbera says it’s “one the best works of this genre I have seen in recent years,” adding that the doc is “more exciting than a fictional story.”
