SUMMER IN THE CITY

Wim Wenders

Wim Wenders (Düsseldorf, Germany, 1945) is considered one of the most influential and innovative filmmakers alive. Over the decades, he grappled with themes like travel and loss (Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, Kings of the Road, and Until the End of the World), the exploration of humanity (Wings of Desire, Faraway, So Close!, and The State of Things), the discovery of beauty (Buena Vista Social Club), pain and illness (The American Friend, Paris, Texas, and Million Dollar Hotel), and cinema (Nick’s Movie - Lightning Over Water, and The State of Things). He has received some of the most prestigious awards (including the Honorary Golden Bear from the 2015 Berlin Film Festival) and, in 2007, the Torino Film Festival paid tribute to his career in its retrospective section.
