The 29th 'Icares du Cinema' flying film festival takes place at St Hilaire du Touvet this September 22-25, during the much anticipated Coupe Icare festival.
The prestigious film festival attracts an audience of 20,000 people, and celebrates all things flying with films covering BASE jumping, paragliding, kiting and hot air ballooning amongst others.
Paramotoring is represented by Anthony Green's film of the Parabatix Sky Racers pylon races last September. If you can't remember it, here's a taster:
