Step into the world of cinema with the Film Club Premiere! Join us for an exclusive evening filled with an exciting film screening, a creative discussion, and a chance to sign up for the film club at a special rate, available to a limited number of attendees!
**Suggested Watch Prior to Event: "Wings of Desire"**Before attending the premiere, we recommend watching Wings of Desire, a poetic and visually stunning film by Wim Wenders. Follow the journey of two angels, Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander), as they silently watch over Berlin, offering hope to those in despair. When Damiel falls in love with Marion (Solveig Dommartin), a lonely trapeze artist, he faces the deep longing to experience life as a human. This captivating film beautifully explores the themes of love, loss, and transformation.
Director: Wim Wenders
Cinematography: Henri Alekan
