To mark armistice day and as part of the celebrations to mark 100 years of the Bristol Aviation Company Bristol's Festival of Ideas, in partnership with Bristol Silents and Photoplay Productions, present this WW1 classic screen drama introduced by film historian and restorer Kevin Brownlow. Presented in a restored 35mm print and with a specially commissioned epic synchronised orchestral score by Carl Davis.

Clara Bow plays Mary, the girl next door who loves Jack and his home-made car. At training school, Jack fights with Dick, soon to be his closest comrade. They go to France. Mary has volunteered to serve at the front as an ambulance driver. The two boys are decorated and are given leave. At last - Paris! Wellman hurls his camera around the vast battlefield with exhilarating abandon. Even by today's standards, his setups are remarkable and his epic handling of the flight scenes is still overwhelming. A true silent epic, the film deservedly won the first Academy Award for Outstanding Production.

The Live Cinema presentation of WINGS by arrangement with Photoplay Productions was originally produced by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill.

Fee: £8.00 full / £6.00 concessions (including Bristol Silents members).
