'All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,' from Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.

When filmmaker Laura Poitras went to meet American photographer Nan Goldin about a project to document her protests against museums accepting money from the Sackler family, Goldin was slightly worried.
The result is "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed," which is having its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, where it is part of the main competition slate. Poitras, before the premiere, thanked the festival for recognizing that "documentary is cinema." Goldin, whose work has always been about "removing stigma," said her attention turned to the Sacklers when she got out of a clinic to get sober. She had only known the Sacklers as philanthropists, but then started reading articles about opioid overdoses and Purdue Pharma and knew she had to do something.
"The things I do are not a choice," Goldin said. "My thought was how can I shame them amongst their own social strata?"
