17h: Film and Discussion
The Flight of Bryan (USA, 2024, James Erskine – 99 min., tous âges – VO EN ST FR)
The incredible and moving story of Bryan Allen, an unemployed amateur cyclist, and Paul MacCready, an engineer and heavily indebted father of three, who embark on an audacious and perilous quest: to unlock the mystery of human-powered flight and win one of aviation’s most coveted prizes. Built around a remarkable collection of recently discovered 16 mm footage and innovative filmmaking techniques, this inspiring story of ingenuity, courage and determination invites us to challenge our assumptions about those who take unconventional paths. It also reminds us of the power of the stories we tell to help us understand – and perhaps change – the world.
The screening will be followed by a discussion about human-powered vehicles with Neal Hartman, Director of the CineGlobe Film Festival, who, while studying at the University of California, Berkeley, helped create the world’s fastest tandem bicycle.
