CONCLAVE | Centerpiece Selection [SOLD OUT]

When the Pope dies unexpectedly, members of the Catholic College of Cardinals gather at the Vatican for an election that will select a new pontiff and define a new era for the Church. Behind locked doors, it is the sacred duty of Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes), dean of the College of Cardinals, to oversee this conclave. Several front-runners emerge, including Cardinals Bellini (Stanley Tucci) of the Vatican, Trembley of Montreal (John Lithgow), Tedesco of Venice (Sergio Castellitto) and Adeyemi of Nigeria (Lucian Msamati), who could become the first African pope in history. Each has his own agenda -- and his own compromising secrets. As shocking revelations threaten to derail the proceedings, Lawrence struggles with his conscience. Learning that the late Pope had secrets of his own, his sense of duty forces him to try and uncover them. But nothing prepares him, or the audience, for a final shocking twist. Masterfully directed by Academy Award® winner Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front). It also stars Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet, “Green Porno”) who is receiving MFF’s Agnes Varda Trailblazing Film Artist Award.
