REMEMBERING BRUNO GANZ in cooperation with Indo Cine Appreciation Foundation: Der Himmel über Berlin / Wings of Desire Dir.: Wim Wenders | 1987 | 128 min (Film in German, with English subtitles).
We cordially invite you to film screening as a tribute to German Film Actor – Bruno Ganz who died on 16 Feb. 2019.
Film Synopsis:
The sky over war-scarred Berlin is full of gentle, trench-coated angels who listen to the tortured thoughts of mortals and try to comfort them. One, Damiel, wishes to become mortal after falling in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, Marion. Peter Falk, as himself, assists in the transformation by explaining the simple joys of a human experience, such as the sublime combination of coffee and cigarettes.
Told from the angel?s point of view, Wings of Desire is shot in black and white, blossoming into color only when the angels perceive the realities of humankind. Ultimately, Damiel determines that he must experience humanity in full, and breaks through into the real world to pursue a life with Marion.
