教皇首次参演电影[跨越艳阳](Beyond the Sun,暂译)将在戛纳电影节寻求国际买家。先是制片方邀约教皇弗朗西斯一世出演电影,于是教皇要求拍摄一部向孩子们传递上帝思想的影片。教皇在电影中扮演了本人,并将把影片所得所有收益捐赠给阿根廷的两家慈善机构,用于援助贫困儿童和青少年。"Beyond the Sun" is a modern day tale of hope, faith and courage based on stories from the Bible. This uplifting story is intended to spiritually engage and encourage audiences of all ages to live their best life, make good choices and help others. Featuring an awe inspiring appearance by His Holiness Pope Francis.
