Aerodrome soars

This short documentary about the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in upstate NY is absolutely gorgeous. I had no idea what to expect when I went to a special screening of the film at nearby Bard College... after all, it's just a bunch of dusty old planes in a field, right? Wrong!

It's actually an intimate and beautifully photographed look into a near-magical place and the people whose passion make it (literally) fly. The filmmakers take you along for the ride - you get to experience wide-screen flight in a pre-WWI cockpit - but also invite you to enjoy the exquisite details of these marvelous old planes, and the real love of flight shared by their pilots. Period-appropriate music lends a sweet (but never cloying) nostalgia to the images on screen, and expertly edited interviews provide insight into what makes the Aerodrome the special place it is.

I'd love to see this film again! What an amazing ride.
