Star of Screenwipe, We Need Answers and Cowards (BBC4), Key’s award winning new show is a confused procession of idiosyncratic poetry and prose arranged into a brittle, theatrical and precarious 55 minute performance.

BOOK NOW. MORE EXCELLENT ACTS TBA VERY SOON.

The fourth and final film in our Swiss Spaghetti Harvest Festival; a season of films that blur the lines between fact and fiction.

The most nebulous of all the films in the season, Little Dieter Needs To Fly tells the story of Dieter Dengler, who in 1966 crash landed his fighter plane in Laos during the Vietnam War was taken prisoner by the Pathet Lao, before being turned over to soldiers of the Army of North Vietnam. After a period of torture and starvation chained to the bottom of a bamboo cage, Dengler escaped.

Whilst the other films in this season are out and out forgeries Little Dieter is interesting as it is a composed documentary in which Herzog scripted, and then directed Dengler in his account of his own adventure. It raises interesting questions about claims to an objective ‘truth’ as frequently inferred by documentary film-makers. But moreover it’s a beautifully shot and entertaining account of this astonishing man’s astonishing story.

Written and directed by Werner Herzog. 1997. 80 mins.
