To mark the 75th anniversary of the Maison de France in Berlin, the Institut Français Berlin, in collaboration with Cinéma Paris, invites you to a special film screening: WINGS OF DESIRE by Wim Wenders will be shown. The screening will be followed by an audience discussion (Q&A) with the director, moderated by Annette Gerlach (Arte).

The Maison de France, a landmark on Kurfürstendamm, has stood for cultural exchange between France and Germany since its opening in 1950. The film shown and the subsequent discussion will pay tribute to this special place and its role in strengthening Franco-German relations. The film itself - a symbol of Franco-German friendship - was the first contribution to be broadcast by the ARTE television channel on September 28, 1992. ARTE also supports this event.

About

Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds -- with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk -- that it might be possible for him to take human form.
