Laura Poitras (an Oscar winner for 2014’s Citizenfour) directs this portrait of renowned photographer Nan Goldin, one that offers intimate access to her suburban upbringing and experiences living among marginalized communities and artistic scenes in New York City. It also depicts the downfall of the Sackler family, a target of Goldin’s activism and whose company Purdue Pharma created and marketed OxyContin — the root cause of the American opioid epidemic.

The International Documentary Association (IDA) has announced the full program for its annual screening series, including the 10 films that have been chosen for its Awards Campaign Access Initiative (Acai).
The program will open with Netflix’s “Descendant,” a film produced by the Obamas’ company Higher Ground Productions. The documentary sees director Margaret Brown return to her hometown of Mobile, Alabama to document the search for The Clotilda, the last known ship to arrive in the United States, illegally carrying enslaved Africans, and the ramifications its discovery has on the community.
What will follow is a showcase of 43 feature-length documentary films that are eligible for consideration for the upcoming Academy Awards; 20 films will be screened both in-person and online, and 35 will be available for virtual viewing only.
The films selected for the Acai, a program meant to support independent filmmakers from historically excluded communities currently pursuing a film awards campaign, are:

Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles:
Untitled Michel Hazanavicius Project – Hot off their Golden Globe win for The Artist, Hollywood's new super couple Michel Hazanavicius and Berenice Bejo aren't staying silent about their next project - a remake of Fred Zinneman's classic The Search. Thomas Langmann produces the updated version, which now centers on an aid worker in Chechnya looking to help a lost boy reunite with his family.
Untitled Todd Haynes Project – Writer-director Todd Haynes is currently writing a serious script about the Midwest's political landscape inspired by Joe Winston's documentary, What's the Matter with Kansas. He's working on it with Mildred Pierce scribe Jon Raymond.
Untitled Explorers Project – The Pirates movies aside, I'm still not totally comfortable with the whole "based on a theme park ride" idea. It's possible The Haunted Mansion had something to do with that, but in addition to Disney developing a Tiki Room movie, the studio is now planning an action flick based on its theme park's Matterhorn roller coaster. Brian Beletic directs the film with a script by Jason Dean Hall.
One Night Stand – Actor Joel Edgerton, whose dabbled with writing and directing a handful of short films, has struck a deal with New Regency Pictures to produce his feature length script based on his own impulsive encounter. He is currently not attached to star.
Arachnaconda – What's in a name? When it comes to the filmmakers of Sharktopus and Dinoshark, coming up with the right mash-up of scary monsters is as crucial as its title. Lou Diamond Phillips stars in and directs the latest project with the LOL-inducing name from Stephen Niver and Robert James Roessel's newly formed company Monster Machine.

The scariest movie I ever saw wasn't a horror at all. It was Joe Winston's What's the Matter with Kansas? But this is about horrors, not my favorite genre at all. They don't scare me, and isn't that supposed to be the point? Slashers are mostly useless now that every conceivable way to slice someone has been shown. The only thing left to do is up the ante with more gruesome kills, and that stuff...

When Nellie Forbush sang "I'm as corny as Kansas in August," I got the impression that Kansas is a groovy little state that grows corn and whose people are diligent farmers without a political care in the world. The truth is more controversial as we learn from Joe Winston's adaptation of Thomas Frank's book "What's the Matter with Kansas." The book is more polemical than the documentary positing that there's something wrong with the citizens of that flyover state who are too thick to realize that they're sharing a political bed with Republican politicians who think nothing of shafting the working class folks of that Midwestern state. As I watched the ordinary folks deliver their partisan spiels, I felt like congratulating Frank Baum's Dorothy when she explained to Toto, "We're not in Kansas any more." Too bad she could not liberate herself by remaining in Oz, ruled...
