"Wings" (1927) entered the public domain in 2023 but there doesn't seem to be any soundtrack accompanying the public domain version. So, to correct this situation I decided to edit together a new soundtrack from modern Creative Commons music. My aim is to make it easier for new people to discover the film online and so help it reach a wider audience. The original production on "Wings" was so high quality, and everyone involved was so dedicated to doing things for real (with actors actually flying!), that I think it could still impress people today and possibly get more people interested in silent film.
Just to temper your expectations I am not a professional editor!
However, I've tried to do my best at curation and tweaking the music to fit the scenes, and hopefully this is at least better than watching the film in silence.With all that said, you can watch at https://fedi.video/w/mnxJLqxaS9yejUAnZPNYcH
(Technically the creative commons music means this is not a public domain version, but the licence on the music is "creative commons attribution non-commercial". So, you're free to watch and copy it as long as the new music's end credits are included intact and as long as any copying/distribution is non-commercial.)
