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.
