Sunday 2 pm CELEBRATION OF FLIGHT (Germany 2009, digibeta, 78 min. In English and German with English subtitles)
DIR Lara Juliette Sanders CAST Daniel RundstrÃm FESTIVALS Dijon International
The film touchingly profiles Daniel RundstrÃm, a pilot who flew sheiks and kings like Haille Selassie and the king of Yemen. At the age of 78, RundstrÃm dreams of building his own plane on an island paradise in the Caribbean. He develops a unique friendship with a 16-year-old native boy from the Caribbean who shares his sacrifice of everything in order to develop and build their very own aircraft for a designer air show in Florida.
An exciting mix of new and found footage from Danielâs days of flying for the kings of Jordan and Ethiopia, the film ends in Berlin where Daniel reunites after ten years with his only son.

DIR David Sieveking CAST David Lynch PRINT SOURCE Autlook Films FESTIVALS Berlinale, Palm Springs
To meet his favorite director David Lynch, aspiring filmmaker David Sieveking flies to the United States to hear Lynch speak about his passion for Transcendental Meditation. Sieveking is granted an interview with Lynch, who encourages him to try meditation for himself. It seems to work: he gets the funding for his film, but then his girlfriend moves away to New York. And as Sieveking delves deeper into TMâs organization after the death of the Maharishi, he witnesses an ugly power struggle. Sieveking, director and protagonist, mixes personal discovery with investigative journalism and comes up with an odd, fully-engaging and wonderfully entertaining quest.
