Wings of Desire is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and colour by the legendary Henri Alekan, forever made the name of director Wim Wenders synonymous with film art. Description Source: Criterion Collection. We welcome artists, the NPCC community, film buffs and film students from all over the city to come and enjoy this community screening. The collection of films selected for Arthouse Cinema at NPCC have been chosen to offer a source of inspiration, conversation, and connection, and to bring certain artistic elements to light and screen that may speak to artists looking for a creative spark. A short Q&A session will be held at the end of each screening. Admission is free with a suggested small pay-what-you-can donation of $10.00, and snacks and refreshments (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. No outside food or drinks permitted. Enjoy responsibly.
