The film will also be preceded by a short film selected from Women Over 50 Film Festival’s (WOFFF) catalogue

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed / 2022 / 1hr&53mins / Rated 18

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a rare and powerful documentary that immerses viewers into the life of artist and activist Nan Goldin. Through intimate footage from director Laura Poitas (Citizenfour) and Goldin’s own photography, the film chronicles her personal journey and her crusade against the Sackler family, whose pharmaceutical company Purdue has been linked to the opioid crisis and whose wider influence over galleries and art institutions globally has been a catalyst for conversations around systematic injustice and power inequality. The film captures both the beauty of Goldin’s art and the pain of her past, as well as the power of protest and the fight for justice.

Fresh Perspectives have also curated an associated archive film showcase, 'Political Demonstration' which will be on display in Fabrica's on-street window space from 17 - 21 March 2025.

This is part of a series of film screenings taking place at Fabrica which profile artists that have paved the way in their craft with a rebellious nature, including David Lynch: The Art Life on Monday 28 April, which offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema’s most enigmatic visionaries.
