Film Review: All the Beauty & the Bloodshed ★★★★★
Film Review: All the Beauty & the Bloodshed ★★★★★
Oscar and Pulitzer Prize-winning documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras’ exceptional All the Beauty and the Bloodshed—which was Queer Lion-nominated and won the Golden Lion for best film at Venice—weaves a compelling dual narrative that shifts between an unflinchingly personal portrait of photographer Nan Goldin’s life and career, and a focus on her recent campaign to hold those culpable for the…

Nan Goldin has always been a documentarian. The new film “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” feels less like a biography than a natural extension of her life’s work, a kind of collaboration between director Laura Poitras and the famed photographer on a cinematic memoir. 
 The film’s structure forcefully posits multiple parallels between the world Goldin grew up in and the one she fights in today — between AIDS and the opioid crisis, between historical and contemporary neglect of the marginalized, between queer life then and now. 
Read the full review.

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed.
D: Laura Poitras (2022).
Addiction also drives Laura Poitras documentary portrait of photographer Nan Goldin, who ran away from a repressive dysfunctional family (after the suicide of her brilliant and beloved sister) and dove into the bohemian demimonde of Boston and New York chronicling the drug addicts, queers, drag queens, hookers, sex workers etc. of lower bohemia. As a photographer she smashed the difference between artist and subject showing the underground denizens as her makeshift family (and during the 80s and 90s AIDS crisis, the decimation of that family). The film tells her story but intercuts it with her current struggle against the drug corporation Purdue Pharma over their marketing of oxycontin which helped turn her into an opioid addict and nearly killed her. Her activism is focused on pressuring the most prestigious museums in the art world (many of which have hosted her work) to reject the endowments of the Sackler family, major art philanthropists who also control Purdue, as well as removing their names from museum exhibits. Poitras takes what could have been a messy mélange of themes and turns it into a strong depiction of an artist’s turn to activism. By the end when Goldin makes the Pharma board listen on Zoom to hours of testimony from victims of the opioid epidemic (you can see the blood drain from their face) the story seems to be one of a piece – the lifelong effort by the artist to make us look at the people who are supposed to be invisible and to see them.

I saw an exhibit of her incredible work many years ago at Berlinische Galerie (my favorite art space in Berlin). This looks like a powerful documentary and I certainly have a lot of respect for Laura Poitras, who directed the Edward Snowden documentary, Citizen Four.
Will actually see this on Sunday . . .
Tagging @gotankgo because I know he's a fan!

Hi, I’m watching Never Let Him Go on Hulu and was wondering if you’d seen it?
Its about an American gay man who lived in Australia and was determined by the police to have committed suicide but his brother believes it’s a murder.
If you have I’d love to get your thoughts on how they presented the struggle between the American and Australian culture. And just any thoughts you have.
It can be a difficult watch so I understand if you’re not interested but I always love how you further expand on difficult topics.
Hope you’re having a great day. 🤍
Hi! I actually hadn't even heard of the documentary, but I know the case pretty well - it's a quite an infamous one here, and the fallout of the coroner's inquest was pretty recent so has been in the headlines a lot over the last few years.
It definitely sounds up my alley to watch, and you've made me very curious about the American vs Australian cultural differences which I have a lot of feelings on in general. I've unexpectedly got tomorrow off work, so I'll watch it and let you know what I think.
Thanks for the recommendation! Hope you're having a great day too ❤️

zarni kuniead tun for vice: a review
Yesterday Vice released an article on Sydney based photographer, Zarni Kuniead Tun (Zarni), that I really connected with. The article delved into Zarni’s beginnings as a photographer and his ability to capture the “warmth, closeness and vulnerable humanness of the everyday”.
So, let’s talk about it. 
Zarni is a Burmese-Thai photographer and music producer, with a keen eye for capturing the beauty of everyday life, whether this be something as simple as a smoke break, a handshake, or a hug. Zarni claims that his goal is to be a narrator of the lives unfolding in Sydney’s CBD and dedicates most of his weekends to this. This side of photography is something I have always admired and tried to capture in my own work as I believe there is such an overlooked beauty to be found in the mundane moments of life. I think the photographer that fuelled this interest for me is Nan Goldin, who documented every detail of her life, however exciting or mundane. She took photos of the world and people around her, allowing her to “obsessively record every detail” and “enable [her] to remember”. And, although Nan Goldin’s and Zarni’s photography styles may look worlds apart, I believe they come from the same drive and admiration of the everyday.
Now, this quote from Zarni really made me stop in my tracks…
“Once you have a camera, you have the power to capture a moment in time which will never happen again”
(A quick reminder that my page is literally called Time Does Not Exist Here for this exact reason!!)
Zarni continues on, stating that although the city can be very dry and pretentious, it’s the simple moments that bring him a lot of joy to capture. I think that living in a generation centred around social media and shock value, it’s so important we take a step back and embrace every moment, no matter how small. And, as scary as it sounds, you never know when these forgettable moments are going to happen for the last time, so why not appreciate them as much as possible?
(okay, let’s get back to the article before I spiral)
With much of Zarni’s work focusing on the idea of ‘home’, he embarked on a trip to Thailand and Laos in early 2023. The result? Over 1000 photos taken, 33 rolls of film developed, and a formative piece of work named SABAI. And let me tell you, the photographs in this series are truly something to admire. Although, Zarni made a point to say that his photography is no better than anybody else’s, he is just a good curator of work.
See below for some of my favourites!

The article finishes on a really interesting analogy in which Zarni compares his style of photography to music sampling, stating that he finds the beauty in such small moments and puts his own spin on it. For Zarni, his photography (and life) is entirely ‘sampled’ from his parents and life experiences. I thought this idea was really fascinating and have found myself connecting the dots of my life since reading the article (I suggest you try as well, you never know what you may discover about yourself!). 
Overall, this article was extremely captivating and definitely led me to some points of personal reflection surrounding my photography and life experiences. I strongly encourage you to have a read of the article and let me know what you think!
