MUSEUMS

For nearly two millennia, artists who have wished to depict Jesus Christ have had to make difficult decisions about the appearance of the person to play the role. In Casting Jesus, Christian Jankowski allows the viewer to become a fly on the wall, observing as a distinguished panel of representatives from the Vatican including Monsenor Jose Manuel del Rio Carrasco, Vatican Priest; Sandro Barbagallo, Art Critic at the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano newspaper; and Massimo Giraldi, journalist and Secretary of the Commission for Film Classification of the Italian Bishop Conference engage in the process of casting actors in the role of Jesus Christ.
