Laura Poitras’s documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed appears to be on more solid ground as a possible Oscar frontrunner, after the release of DOC NYC’s influential shortlist of the year’s top nonfiction films.
ATBATB made the DOC NYC cut of 15 feature films Tuesday, a day after it missed out on a nomination as Best Documentary Feature for the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards (Poitras did earn a Best Director nomination and her film was nominated as Best Political Documentary by the critics group).
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, about artist Nan Goldin and her indefatigable campaign against the Sackler family of Oxycontin ignominy, last month became only the second documentary to win the top prize in Venice. Joining the film on the DOC NYC shortlist is Fire of Love, the National Geographic documentary that has earned more than $1.5 million in worldwide release. It tells the story of Maurice and Katia Krafft, a French couple who dedicated their lives to the study of volcanoes and were killed in the 1991 eruption of Mt. Unzen in Japan.
Two other National Geographic films claimed spots on the DOC NYC shortlist [see full list below]. The Territory tells the story of an Indigenous tribe in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest who are trying to protect their land from illegal mining, logging and homesteading. Retrograde, by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Matthew Heineman, “captures the final nine months of America’s twenty-year war in Afghanistan from multiple perspectives: one of the last US Special Forces units deployed there; a young Afghan general and his corps fighting to defend their homeland against all odds; and the civilians desperately attempting to flee as the country collapses and the Taliban take over.”
