What is Icare du Cinéma?

In 1983, ten years after the inception of the COUPE ICARE, the 1st International Air Film Festival was born.
Today, ICARE DU CINEMA welcomes nearly 5,000 spectators and has become a true benchmark for both image professionals and free flight enthusiasts.

From short to feature films, all about the air…

The festival brings together cinematographic productions (short, medium, and feature-length films) centered around the themes of air, wind, flight, and all aerial sports, paragliding, hang gliding, skydiving, hot air ballooning, human-powered flight, gliding, bungee jumping, base jumping, kite flying, boomerangs, slacklining, and more. Motorized aerial sports are limited to paramotoring, microlights (ULM), model aircraft, aerobatics, and aviation feats.
Films about bird flight are also welcome.

An official competition

Every year, the International Air Film Festival receives around a hundred productions from all over the world.

Following a screening by the selection committee, the best films are submitted to the official festival jury, which is composed of sports and media professionals.

Two other juries also present an award:: the Press Jury and the Mômes (Kids) Jury.
