Description

Winner of the coveted Best Film Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival - only the second documentary to take the top prize in the festival’s 90-years - and back at the Film Center for an encore after an exclusive run in December 2022 - Poitras (CITIZENFOUR) delivers an epic, emotional, and interconnected portrait of renowned artist Nan Goldin, and her fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid crisis. Told through Goldin’s ground-breaking photography and slideshows (including “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency,” part of the Art Institute of Chicago’s permanent collection), and with intimate interviews and rare footage of her fearless demonstrations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Louvre, Goldin’s past and present are interwoven into a remarkable, holistic document of Golden as an artist, activist, sister, daughter, lover, and friend.
