Film & Talk #2030: Nan Goldin's fight against the Sacklers in Delphi Lux
On Friday, October 4, 2024, at 6 p.m. , the cinema Delphi Lux at the Zoologisches Garden train station becomes the scene of a fascinating film that touches the hearts and heads! The highly awaited artist magic "All the Beauty and Bloodshed" by the award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras celebrates his demonstration here as part of the film series "Film & Talk #2030", organized by the Bildungs Bilding for Sustainable Development (SBNE) of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district. A true festival for all art and documentation lovers!
This film is more than just a biographical work - it immerses a life of the renowned New York photographer Nan Goldin, who has made a name for itself with her blunt representations of sex, drugs and violence in the art scene. But the path to celebrity was rocky. A dramatic turning point in Goldin's life occurred in 2014 when she had to struggle after an operation with the dependence on oxycontin, a pain reliever that was sold by the notorious pharmadynasty sackler. Her journey back into life began with the fight against this family, which not only plays an influential role in the pharmaceutical sector, but also in art.
an impressive artist portrait
Laura Poitras, known for her Oscar®-winning documentary "Citizenfour", manages to impressively capture Goldins in "All The Beauty and Bloodshed". After her recovery, Goldin became a tireless activist who works for the withdrawal of the sacker donations from large museums such as the Louvre. Her courage and determination have not only affected her life, but also the art world.
Immediately after the film demonstration, the audience can expect an exciting audience talk with Marc Pestotnik, the expert at the specialist office for addiction prevention, and the free journalist and licensed pharmacist Marius Penzel. Come by to dive deeper into the topics of art, health and activism!
