πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Part 1/3 of our Focus on German Film series with the University of Richmond

Few films can truly feel transcendental, but Wim Wenders’s poetic masterpiece, Wings of Desire has that claim. Angels wander the world looking for love. Will they find it in the dreamy streets of 80s Berlin where history and archaic arthouse culture are around one corner and a rocking Nick Cave concert is around the next? A true immortal epic, and not just because it has Peter Falk playing himself, Wings of Desire is a film that needs to be seen and felt on the big screen.

We’re excited to bring this one, a true arthouse classic by one of the great international directors, to the city of Richmond. So join us at 7PM on October 9th for the beginning of our Hard Light Cinema at UR German Cinema series and prepare to yearn amongst friends.

Because this screening will be on the University of Richmond campus, parking will be a bit different than our usual screenings. We encourage parking at the Ryland Circle on campus. There will be a limited number of free visitor’s passes that we’ll be handing out in the parking lot, but we encourage you to fill out this form and get your own free pass mailed to you, especially since it’ll work at all of our University of Richmond screenings this semester! See y’all there!
