| New York Film Festival Executive Director Eugene Hernandez: “As soon as we watched Laura Poitras’s piercing new film, we knew that Nan Goldin was the right artist to design the official poster for the 60th anniversary of the New York Film Festival,” |
Film at Lincoln Center has announced that Nan Goldin is the designer of the 60th New York Film Festival posters. Last month the Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Dennis Lim with Eugene Hernandez (who will become the director of the Sundance Film Festival in November), Florence Almozini, K Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen proclaimed that Laura Poitras’s All The Beauty And The Bloodshed on the life and career of Goldin and the downfall of the Sackler family will be the Centerpiece selection of the festival. Noah Baumbach’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise, starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, will be the Opening Night and Elegance Bratton’s The Inspection, starring Jeremy Pope with Bokeem Woodbine, Raúl Castillo, and Gabrielle Union will be the Closing Night.

“As soon as we watched Laura Poitras’s piercing new film, we knew that Nan Goldin was the right artist to design the official poster for the 60th anniversary of the New York Film Festival,” said Eugene Hernandez, executive director of the New York Film Festival. “Nan’s unflinching bravery in life and in work have made her one of the most arresting visual artists of our time. In designing this year’s poster, she joins a renowned roster of artists who have contributed their work to the festival, beginning in 1963 with Larry Rivers and running up through last year’s poster artist, Kara Walker.”
“One fearless and empathetic gaze meets another in this remarkable portrait of Nan Goldin by Laura Poitras,” said Dennis Lim, artistic director, New York Film Festival. “We are delighted to welcome Poitras back to the festival with All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, an absorbing account of Goldin’s work and activism that shows us how much they both matter.”
“I am thrilled to be part of the New York Film Festival with Nan,” said director Laura Poitras. “Her art and activism are deeply rooted in this city. It is an honor to return to the festival, and to do this with Nan is so meaningful.”
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed screens on Friday, September 30 at 6:00pm and 9:15pm inside Alice Tully Hall. There will be Q&As with Laura Poitras.
