L’ESPRIT DE LA COUPE ICARE
Gilles Santantonio
France / 1993 / 11'
The "Icare" Cup, which takesits name from the legendary Icarus, has been held in Saint Hilaire du Touvet in France since 1973. It is the most important meeting of so-called "free flying" enthusiasts. The film reports the 20th year of the Cup which is mainly a fancy dress contest in which the strangest creation take flight in the air. Two parapente experts, Francoise Dieuzeide and Richard Gallon, mingle with the crazy flying creatures and, thanks to tiny cameras, film their evolutions.
