Burden
In the early 1970s, Chris Burden's provocative, often dangerous performance pieces shook the conventional art world. He had himself shot, crawled through a field of broken glass, and attempted to breathe water. It wasn’t surprising that the press began calling Burden "The Evel Knievel of the art world," a label he would struggle to overcome for most of his career.
Burden quit performance art in the late ’70s and reinvented himself artistically. He went on to create a multitude of installations and sculptures. His work has influenced a generation of artists and been exhibited around the world.
Using unprecedented access to Burden's archive as well as candid footage filmed with the artist in the final years of his life, this film documents Burden's shifting motivations and his transition away from the spotlight of performance toward a quieter and more civic minded art-making practice.

Risk
How much of your own life are you willing to risk?
Laura Poitras, Academy Award winning director of CITIZENFOUR, returns with her most personal and intimate film to date. Filmed over six years, RISK is a complex and volatile character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath.
Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organization he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story with unprecedented access, Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle.
In a new world order where a single keystroke can alter history, Risk is a portrait of power, betrayal, truth, and sacrifice. Executive Produced by Sam Esmail, creator of Mr. Robot.
