Silent Film Series: Wings

The Venango Museum’s Silent Film Series wraps up with the spectacular Academy Award-winning epic Wings (1927), one of the most exciting films from the silent era.

Wings takes place during World War I and tells the story of two young American fighter pilots. Their rivalry, friendship, and shared love for the same woman play out against a backdrop of dramatic aerial battles. The film is known for its stunning flight scenes and innovative special effects. It won the very first Academy Award for Best Picture and is still considered one of early Hollywood’s most ambitious productions.

See this cinematic landmark the way it was meant to be enjoyed: with live music played on the museum’s historic 1928 Wurlitzer theater organ by acclaimed organist Donnie Rankin. Join us for an evening of silent film, soaring music, and classic movie magic you won’t forget.
