Celebration of Flight: The Dream of a Pilot Celebration of Flight is about a very rare sort of adventurer you are unlikely to find today. A film about a pilot who flew sheiks and kings like Haille Selassie or the King of Yemen. A film about the oldest dream of mankind and the only remaining dream of an old man: at the age of 78, Daniel Rundstroem wants to build his own plane in the middle of the tropical forest, on Dominica, an island paradise in the Caribbean. It is also a film about a unique friendship between a 78year-old Swede and a 16-year-old native boy from the Caribbean Sea. They share one desire for which they are willing to sacrifice everything: to develop and build their very own aircraft. With it, they are planning to take part in one of the world’s biggest air shows for airplane designers in Florida and win a prize. Their only goal is success. For the boy, it is the beginning of all his dreams. For the old man, it is his very last dream. And it’s the legacy of a father-and-son relationship. However for Daniel it is not only the building of an airplane. It is much more: a review of his life, the reunion with his lost son and the memories of his past adventures … World Sales (please contact) Lombardo Films GmbH Tengstrasse 22 · 80798 Munich/Germany phone +49-89-21 66 76 36 · fax +49-89-21 66 76 37 email: info@lombardofilms.com · www.lombardofilms.com Genre Adventure, Biopic Category Documentary Cinema Year of Production 2006 Director Lara Juliette Sanders Screenplay Lara Juliette Sanders Directors of Photography Ralf Leistl, Michael Boxrucker Editors Klaus Schaefer, Jean-Claude Piroué Music by Gary Marlowe Producer Lara Juliette Sanders Production Company Lombardo Films/Munich Length 78 min Format DigiBeta, color, 16:9 Original Version English Sound Technology Stereo German Distributor Lombardo Films/Munich Lara Juliette Sanders studied Journalism and Business Management in Munich, followed by work as an editor and commissioning editor for several departments at the broadcasters WDR and tm3.

Cousin Cousine COUSINS Cousins. Words between chairs. Voice to the piano. Fingertips grope sense. Bridges too high. Personal collage about a hidden and hiding love. “The film convinces by its rhythmic montage of images and sounds, combining documentary and fiction material in an unusual way. Autobiographic fragments form a poetic picture of a 'forbidden love'.” (Jury statement, Oberhausen 2005) Genre Experimental Category Short Year of Production 2005 Director Maria Mohr Screenplay Maria Mohr Director of Photography Maria Mohr Editor Maria Mohr Producer Maria Mohr Production Company Maria Mohr Film/Berlin Principal Cast Maria Michel, Maria Mohr, Johannes Lessmann Length 20 min, 548 m Format DV PAL, color, 4:3 Original Version German Subtitled Versions English, French Sound Technology Stereo Festival Screenings Oberhausen 2005, Exis Seoul 2005, European Short Film Biennale Ludwigsburg 2005, Kurzfilmtage Flensburg 2005, Leipzig 2005, Art Film Biennale Cologne 2005, Kassel Documentary & Video Fest 2005, Stuttgart World Sales (please contact) Maria Mohr Film Mehringdamm 49 · 10961 Berlin/Germany phone +49-30-81 89 68 97 · email: film@mariamohr.de · www.mariamohr.de Film Winter 2006, Achtung Berlin 2006, FEMINA Brasil 2006, Expresion en Corto Mexico 2006, Cork 2006 Awards 3sat Promotion Award Oberhausen 2005, Best Short Flensburg 2005, Lili – Design Award 2005, Best Student Film FEMINA 2006, Best International Documentary Expresion en Corto Mexico 2006 German Distributor Maria Mohr Film/Berlin Maria Mohr was born in 1974 in Mainz.
