Cemetery Cinema: Wings of Desire & The Royal Tenenbaums
The Coolidge is thrilled to partner again with the Friends of Mount Auburn for an outdoor double feature! This unique event, known as "Cemetery Cinema" will take place at sunset on Thursday, September 26 at the historic and beautiful Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Wim Wenders's classic tale of an Angel in love, Wings of Desire will begin the evening, followed by Wes Anderson's story of a family coming together after their patriarch reveals that he is dying (or is he?) in The Royal Tenenbaums.
Plus: come in costume as your favorite Tenenbaum and you'll be entered to win a copy of the new card game Cinephile! It's the ultimate card game for film nerds, movie geeks, and cinephiles.
Mount Auburn Cemetery is located at 580 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge. Parking will be available at the cemetery and light concessions will be sold. Chairs, blankets, and snacks are encouraged, but no alcohol please. The cemetery is an active burial place and a sacred site to mourners. Please keep this in mind as you set up your seating space and refrain from touching or leaning against any of the monuments or headstones.
