All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is Poitras’s first portrait of a female subject. In it for the first time she models forms of feminist attention to another woman, a woman artist, speaking and listening to her. Through openness to Goldin’s susceptibility, experimentation, pleasure, and suffering, Poitras addresses trauma and its relation to activism. In their collaboration, Goldin brings the visual sublime as well as overt sensuality into Poitras’s purview, releasing the eros and pathos that have always been part of her work. In turn, Poitras makes possible, and essential, a full portrait of Nan Goldin as activist.

Elisabeth Subrin’s Maria Schneider, 1983 (2022) and Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea (2022) both use reenactment to reflect on their subjects (Maria Schneider and Andrea Dworkin), women whose artistic and political lives were highjacked by sexual assault. Subrin and Parmar deploy performance in unconventional ways, casting multiple actresses from diverse backgrounds, experimenting with temporal layering, and drawing on unconventional audiovisual archives. There is a core tension, in both projects, between the particularities of embodied experience and the pervasive narratives of violence, trauma, and misogyny that repeat across time. Yet these works use reenactment to reach markedly different conclusions about identity, history, and artistic praxis. Equally striking are the interventions each film makes into feminist history, fashioning explicit and distinct connections between the legacies of the women they depict and a fractious political present.

The introduction situates the Special Focus section “Chilean Film and Media: Fifty Years Later (1973/2023)” in its historical and cultural context. The year 2023 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the coup that toppled the socialist government of Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973. To reflect on the role of film and media in relation to the coup demands a move away from mere commemoration and, more broadly, from memory studies as the overarching critical framework that has dominated studies of Chilean cinema. This Special Focus section seeks to move beyond memory without neglecting the duty to remember. It is a project of reactivation, reappropriation, and repoliticization of the cinematic memory of the coup. This approach favors continuities between films made throughout the last five decades under different historical moments—the socialist years of Allende, the dictatorship, the postdictatorship, and the estallido social (social uprising) of October 2019.

This article examines the concentric resonances among Peck’s recent documentary, Exterminate All the Brutes, and his other films. Exterminate All the Brutes is an effort to make visible and audible the forgotten and unspeakable about the West: that its basic, winning practices are white supremacy, colonialism, and genocidal extermination. Peck’s new opus is a critical interrogation of the West and the Western cinematic and image archive. The film functions as both rebuke and “counter testimony,” building out in vision of a global black film archive. Ultimately, Peck’s four-part documentary encourages viewers to think through cinema about the West critically and models the use of documentary filmmaking as a practice of freedom.
