At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. government is determined to fight Communism with culture. The Venice Biennale, the world’s most influential art exhibition, becomes a proving ground in 1964. Washington insider Alice Denney, curator Alan Solomon, and powerful art dealer Leo Castelli embark on a daring plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize. Pulling off maneuvers that could have come from a Hollywood thriller, the American team leaves the international press crying foul and Rauschenberg questioning the politics of nationalism that sent him there. (2023, 98 mins)
