The perfect wrap-up to the 2024 Great Alaska Aviation Gathering--a special fundraiser presentation by the Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association (AMIPA)--a screening of the restored Howard Hawks classic, Only Angels Have Wings (1939), featuring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Rita Hayworth (in her first major role).At a remote South American trading port, the manager of an air freight company is forced to risk his pilots' lives in order to win an important contract.
Nominated for two Academy awards, and inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2017, Only Angels Have Wings is a story of the pilots who flew the first cargo routes through the high altitude passes of South America—a story that parallels the life of “Glacier Pilot” Bob Reeve, later of Reeve Aleutian Airways fame, who pioneered a route flying mail from Peru to Chile in 1928.
Additionally, the screening will open with a short presentation of historic, Alaska aviation-themed motion picture clips from AMIPA’s collections. Some of these 8mm and 16mm films have been restored— all have been scanned at 2K. This will be the first time any of these high-resolution scans will have been presented, theatrically.
General Admission $50
All of AMIPA’s proceeds from this event will be added to an endowment fund for the program, recently established at the Alaska Community Foundation. This endowment will generate unrestricted funds to help support AMIPA's mission to preserve and provide access to Alaska's unique audiovisual heritage.

Here's a link to the original trailer for Only Angels Have Wings--note that it has not been restored. The restored version of the film looks terrific, and we're very exited to present it on the big screen, at the Bear Tooth Theatrepub.
