Since “David wants to fly” was by far one of my favorite documentaries of the 2010 Planete Doc Review, I recorded the post-screening Q&A with the director (or even author) David Sievking. Other than the talent for film-making David also has exceptional sense of humor and I hope this will inspire you to get hold of the film and watch it.

The documentary is about David’s adventures with meeting his long time idol David Lynch and the TM movement that he’s a member of. But – perhaps even more importantly – it’s a great insight into the process of independent film-making, the worries, the joys, the impact on personal life. “David wants to fly” took 5 years to make and several threats of law suits, as well as an occasional hash smoking with Buddhist monks over 1000 meters above sea level. Here’s the trailer.

The file is 14:18 long, mp3. You might hear some not too delicate cut outs – there was a girl translating the Q&A as it went on and I decided to skip it. Audience was laughing often, however some of it is cut out as she was talking over.

Quality might vary as it was recorded at random from a seat at the film theatre audience. I did my best to make it as clear as possible. Also apologies for slight distortion towards the end. I think the story and anecdotes are worth bearing it.

Enjoy. Any feedback – as always – much appreciated.
