The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona Premiere of All Beauty and Bloodshed, which runs January 6-12 at the Alice Gil-Sheldon Theatre.

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is the epic, emotional and interconnected story of internationally renowned artist and activist Nan Goldin, told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography and rare footage of her personal struggle to hold the Sackler family accountable for an overdose crisis .
Directed by Academy Award-winning director Laura Poitras, the film intertwines Goldin’s past and present, the deeply personal and the urgently political, from PAIN’s actions at renowned art institutions to Goldin’s photography of her friends and peers through her epic film The Ballad of Sexual Dependency” and her legendary 1989 NEA-censored AIDS exhibit, Witness: Against Our Vanishing.
The story begins with PAIN, a group founded by Goldin to shame museums for rejecting Sackler money, destigmatize addiction, and promote harm reduction. Inspired by Act Up, they organized protests to expose Sackler and the crimes of their Purdue Pharma, makers of OxyContin.
The film is based on Goldin’s works “Ballad of Sexual Addiction”; “The other side”; “Sisters, Saints and Sibyls”; and “Memory Lost.” In these works, Goldin captures his friendships with beauty and raw tenderness. These friendships and her sister Barbara’s legacy are the foundation of all of Goldin’s art.
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed will run at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theater from January 6-12. Screenings will be from 6.30pm on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 6, 7, 8 and 9; and 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, January 11 and 12.
