In anticipation of Susan Day's community mosaic mural coming to the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection's Carepoint facility later this summer, McIntosh Gallery is presenting a FREE screening of the highly acclaimed documentary “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” on Monday, July 17 at 7:00 p.m. at The Hyland.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, the film chronicles the life and work of artist Nan Goldin, weaving in her fight to purge the Sackler name from art institutions around the world. This film is the second ever documentary to win Best Picture (The Golden Lion) at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2023 Academy Awards.

"A groundbreaking artist who turned the lens on her own life... Nan Goldin is a fascinating subject for a documentary even before she declared war on one of the most powerful families in the US. But what elevates this gripping, Oscar-nominated documentary by Laura Poitras is the deft meshing together of Goldin’s biographical and creative history with details of her crusade against the Sackler family, art world philanthropists and the pharma billionaires behind OxyContin and, by extension, the opioid crisis.” - The Guardian

This event is freen and open to the public. Space is limited, so please reserve your tickets in advance through Eventbrite.
