One of the most celebrated films of the 1980s of Wim Wenders, Wings of Desire ( Heaven over Berlin) centers on a pair of angels who wander unnoticed through West Berlin, eavesdropping on the inner monologues of its inhabitants as they ride the subway, sit in shabby apartments, and worry about love and money. Though privy to the thoughts and dreams of humans, the angels are forbidden from intervening in their private affairs. But when one of the celestial beings falls in love with a circus performer, he considers giving up his immortality, colorless, eternal, unchanging for an earthly existence, vivid, messy, vitally unpredictable. The story explores many complex themes and stands as a testament to the importance of cinema.

The film program is made possible in collaboration with Wim Wenders Foundation and Goethe-Institut with the support of the German Embassy in Pristina.

All screenings are free and shown in their original language with Albanian and English subtitles.
