The win at the Venice Film Festival for All The Beauty And The Bloodshed represents a departure for documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras, who has spent much of her career focused on post-9/11 America.

All the Beauty And The Bloodshed follows the art and activism of US photographer Nan Goldin - but is still deeply political.
