Isabella Rossellini: Cinematic legend embraces innovation at TIFF with Audi

September 26, 2024

Isabella Rossellini, a cinematic icon known for her extraordinary talent and a career that has spanned decades, made a special appearance at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the premiere of her latest film, Conclave.

Directed by Edward Berger, the film features an impressive ensemble cast including Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and John Lithgow. The film, a thriller set against the dramatic backdrop of a Vatican election, sees Rossellini in the role of Sister Agnes.

Rossellini’s presence at TIFF was particularly notable due to her participation in the Audi Innovation Series. The series, created in Canada, celebrates individuals who have significantly impacted their fields through creativity and forward-thinking approaches. Previous guests include high-profile names such as Steve Wozniak, Spike Lee and Jennifer Hudson.

This year, Audi’s partnership with Rossellini highlights their commitment to pushing boundaries not just in automotive technology, but also in arts and cinema. Rossellini sat down with our Managing Editor Ada Yakobi to share her thoughts on the concept of innovation, creativity and her enduring passion for film.

Rossellini’s involvement with Audi is a perfect fit. Audi’s Innovation Series focuses on celebrating creativity and thought leadership across various fields, such as fashion, technology and sports, in addition to film. The brand’s commitment to sparking meaningful conversations and inspiring dialogue aligns with Rossellini’s lifelong dedication to artistic exploration. Through her roles in groundbreaking films like Blue Velvet and her current film, Conclave, she has constantly redefined what it means to be an actress, a director and a voice for change in the industry.
