Ped Mall Rooftop: WINGS OF DESIRE

Ten Sundays, summer through fall, featuring well-loved classics, beneath the stars and above the streets of Iowa City. You never know what we’ll add to each screening to butter up your Rooftop experience. Join us for these very fun special shows, and buy tickets early as seating is limited and Rooftop shows do sell out!

Doors open for seating and pre-show 30 minutes before the posted start time.

In the case of inclement weather, the screening will occur indoors.

"Few films are so rich, so intriguing, or so ambitious."— Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Damiel (Bruno Ganz) is an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan (Roman Holiday), is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies—pure poetry from a modern master.
