Nancy Spielberg, Producer of 'Above and Beyond,' Presents Documentary at The Picture House

The Picture House (TPH) in Pelham will present a special screening of the new documentary Above and Beyond with a post-film discussion and Q&A with the film’s producer Nancy Spielberg, organizers announced.

The first “major feature-length documentary about the foreign airmen in the ’48 War, Above and Beyond brings together new interviews with the pilots, as well as stunning aerial footage, to present a fascinating, little-known tale filled with heart, heroism, and high-flying chutzpah.”

The screening and Q&A is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, at The Picture House, 175 Wolfs Lane, Pelham.

From a press release about the event:

The film follows the pilots on their circuitous route from the United States – where they met and trained in secret and struggled to stay two steps ahead of the FBI – to Panama, Italy and Czechoslovakia, where they flew versions of the very Nazi planes they had tried to shoot down in World War II.

An accomplished businesswoman, fundraiser, and philanthropist, Nancy Spielberg has in recent years turned her energy and talents to producing documentary films. Spielberg grew up surrounded by the film industry, where she worked on her brother Steven’s early films. She attended Arizona State University and UCLA and, after moving to New York, studied film at Sarah Lawrence College and the New School in New York.
