Felicity Beckett speaks to Laura Poitras about her new film All The Beauty And The Bloodshed in cinemas now.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
An epic, emotional story about the internationally renowned artist and activist Nan Goldin told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography and rare footage of her fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the overdose crisis. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, the film interweaves Goldin’s past and present, the deeply personal and urgently political, from P.A.I.N.’s actions at renowned art institutions to Goldin’s photography of her friends and peers through her epic The Ballad of Sexual Dependency and her legendary 1989, NEA-censored AIDS exhibition Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing.

Sam is joined by Tár writer and director Todd Field (Little Children).
Set in the international world of classical music, Academy Award-nominated director Todd Field returns with Tár: a portrait of Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett). A world-renowned composer and conductor at the height of her career, her personal and professional life is suddenly disrupted by a series of inflammatory incidents – and Tár’s reputation for perfection means she cannot afford to make mistakes.
Dynamics of power, ego and artistry all come into play, all the while Tár is mere days away from recording a symphony that will define her work.

Felicity Beckett speaks to legendary Belgian directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about their new film Tori and Lokita, in cinemas now.
This Cannes award-winner by the renowned Dardenne brothers is a moving and typically uncompromising drama about two teenage migrants trying to build a new life.
Tori and Lokita are living in Belgium after surviving a dangerous journey together from West Africa.
Though they have a close relationship, they aren’t related but pretend to be siblings so that Lokita can secure her residence papers.
Desperate to pay the traffickers who smuggled them into Europe and send money to relatives, they supplement their wages from restaurant work by selling drugs. But Tori and Lokita - beautifully played by first-time actors Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu - are ill-equipped to deal with an uncaring and predatory world, and events soon spin out of their control.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Maria Schrader about her new film She Said, in cinemas now.
This powerful investigative drama - inspired by true events - depicts how two New York Times reporters uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of women by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Adapted from the book by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, She Said charts their months of painstaking research.
They gradually piece together a horrifying trail of systemic misconduct that leads to Weinstein but must overcome a culture of silence and fear, and the non-disclosure agreements that prevent many survivors from speaking out.
Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan capture the dedication and commitment of the duo with conviction - they are determined to support each other, and the women whose experiences they have uncovered.
The notable cast also includes Patricia Clarkson and Samantha Morton.
With a nod to the likes of Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this is a gripping account of a pivotal cultural moment that helped to mobilise the #MeToo movement.

Queens, 1980. Aspiring artist Paul, the youngest son of the Graff family, is on the cusp of adolescence. Struggling to fit in at school, he finds solace in his close relationship with his beloved grandfather (Anthony Hopkins) and his budding friendship with Johnny, a sensitive, defiant Black boy. As he tries to find his way in the world, America, too, is going through a profound change with Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory and the rise of a new economic era.
Featuring a stellar cast, James Gray’s (The Lost City of Z, Ad Astra) latest is a deeply personal story of the strength of family, the complexity of friendship and the generational pursuit of the American Dream.
