In the organizer's words:

The American photographer Nan Goldin is a star in the modern art world. Rooted in the New York No Wave underground movement, she has revolutionized the art of photography. With her outstanding instinct for capturing the right moment and her political view through the camera, she has always challenged the definitions of gender and normality. Her photographs are dedicated to themes such as sexuality, addiction and death. They are relentlessly direct, highly intimate and complex. After an operation, Goldin is prescribed a strong painkiller. She becomes addicted but, unlike countless others, manages to quit. Since then, she has fought tirelessly as an activist against the Sackler pharmaceutical dynasty, which is primarily responsible for the global opioid crisis. But the billionaire family is also one of the world's biggest patrons of the arts, on whom artists like Goldin herself depend. Nan Goldin's bold actions are forcing major museums such as the Louvre, the Tate, the Guggenheim and the Met to reconsider their position and distance themselves from the Sacklers. ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED is a captivating and inspiring portrait of artist and activist Nan Goldin. Oscar-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras (Citizenfour) was awarded the Golden Lion, the festival's main prize, for her outstanding documentary in Venice.
