ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE, BEST PICTURE Feb 20 – Mar 2
CONCLAVE follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting the new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope’s wake, secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church.

THE SUBSTANCE
THE SUBSTANCE
(134min. R) Coralie Fargeat, director
ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE, BEST PICTURE Feb 20 – 25
Demi Moore gives a career-best, Golden Globe®-winning and Academy Award®-nominated performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley). The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. Easy, right? Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s explosive Cannes sensation is a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages, and is now nominated for five Academy Awards® including Best Picture.
