ICARE DU CINÉMA, 44e édition
International Aerial Film Festival
Tuesday, September 15 to Sunday, September 20, 2026, in St Hilaire.
The rules and registration for the next festival will be available in February.
What is Icare du Cinéma?
In 1983, ten years after the COUPE ICARE, the 1st International Aerial Film Festival was born.
Today, ICARE DU CINEMA attracts almost 5,000 spectators and is a benchmark for all film professionals and free-flight enthusiasts.
From short to feature films on the theme of air…
The festival brings together film productions (short, medium and feature-length films) on the theme of air, wind, flight and all aerial sports such as paragliding, hang gliding, skydiving, hot air ballooning, human-powered flight, gliding, bungee jumping, base jumping, kite flying, boomerang throwing, slacklining, etc.
Motorised air sports are limited to paramotor, ulm, aeromodelling, aerobatics and aerial exploits. Films on bird flight are also allowed.
A very official competition
Every year, the International Airline Film Festival receives around a hundred entries from all over the world.
After a pre-selection by a committee within the festival organisation, the best films are put to the vote of the festival’s official jury, a panel made up of professionals from the world of sport and image (programme producers, directors, etc.).
Two other juries also award prizes: the press jury and the children’s jury.
The latter is made up of fourth and fifth graders from schools in Plateau des Petites Roches and the Grésivaudan Valley, who attend a screening of selected films organized just for them on Friday mornings. The students then choose their favorite film.
