Altitude Film Sales has secured key international deals for Laura Poitras’ documentary All The Beauty And The Bloodshed, which has its world premiere in Competition in Venice today.
I Wonder has picked up the film for Italy; Plaion (formerly Koch Media) has acquired it for Germany; while Filmin has taken it for Spain.
Neon was previously confirmed as North America distributor; while Altitude will release the film itself in the UK and Ireland.
A rare non-fiction title competing for the Golden Lion at Venice, All The Beauty And The Bloodshed depicts artist and activist Nan Goldin’s fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the overdose crisis, through activism group P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now).
The film will head to Toronto from its Venice premiere, followed by New York as the Centrepiece screening; and a UK premiere at BFI London Film Festival in October.
The film is produced by US firm Participant, with producers Howard Gertler, John Lyons, Yoni Golijov, Poitras and Goldin. Executive producers are Participant’s Jeff Skoll and Dianne Weyermann; Clare Carter; Alex Kwartler; and Hayley Theisen.
The theatrical release of the film will coincide with a retrospective of Goldin’s work, opening at Stockholm’s Modern Museet in October before an international tour taking in Amsterdam, Berlin and Milan.
