Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
CLOSING NIGHT GALA PRESENTATION
Renowned detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic. A Netflix release.
Director, writer, and producer Rian Johnson will be presented with the Outstanding Achievement in Directing Award. A Q&A with Johnson immediately follows the screening.
