Whoopi Goldberg returns as Deloris Van Cartier, a lounge singer catapulted to Las Vegas stardom by the success of her convent choir during an unusual stint in witness protection. Deloris dons the habit once more to help her friends from the convent transform a Catholic school threatened with closure and inspire its cynical students – including the headstrong Rita (Lauryn Hill).
Multiple stars of the original Sister Act return in this influential favourite, which drew inspiration from the life of choral director Iris Stevenson.
‘In Sister Act 2, these energised musical numbers and the sparkling comedy work together in ways that are very hard to resist’ – Orlando Sentinel
Celebrate the joy and explosive power of gospel music with a live performance by Rejoice Gospel Choir, followed by a double feature screening of Sister Act (Emile Ardolino, 1992) and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. Learn more
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
