Documentary in Progress: Latest Interview of the Late Pope Francis by Martin Scorsese
Hollywood titan Martin Scorsese is cooking up a documentary, aptly named "Aldeas - A New Story," featuring the last significant on-screen interview of the late Pope Francis. Scheduled for release (but not yet detailed), this film promises to delve into the Pope's crusade to elevate education through the power of cinema[1].
Famed for his beliefs in creativity's sanctity, Scorsese, a sprightly 82, shares screen time with Francis, covering the latter's drive behind Scholas Occurrentes, an international charitable organization that seeks to foster the "culture of encounter" among the youth[1]. "Aldeas," a program that encourages short filmmaking as a means of cultural comprehension, is also part of this enlightening project[1].
The documentary, expected to emphasize cross-cultural dialogue and storytelling as catalysts for societal transformation[1], showcases short films generated by Aldeas Initiative participants across various countries, including Italy, Gambia, and Indonesia[1]. However, the distribution details are whispered as of yet[1].
