Agnus Dei
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2026
May 28 - June 4
Massimiliano Camaiti’s sensitive and transfixing documentary, which premiered at the Venice Biennale, captures the mystical process by which two newborn lambs at a Roman monastery are prepared to provide wool for a sacred vestment to be worn by the Pope.
A fascinating, patient observation of papal arcana, Massimiliano Camaiti’s hypnotic and sensitive documentary captures the process by which, each year at the Monastery of Saint Cecilia in Rome, two newborn lambs are blessed and afforded treatment befitting His Holiness himself, cared for closely by a cloistered nun who prepares their wool for its destiny as part of a sacred vestment to be worn by the Pope on June 29, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. A Venice Film Festival selection in the College Cinema section, Agnus Dei is an indelible, transfixing glimpse at movingly mystical procedures carried out in a sacred, somewhat obscure place while the winds of change blow outside its walls.
