BBFF2024 - Wingsuit Flyers + Impact with Q&A

WINGSUIT FLYERS: THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN FLIGHT

The quest to fly like a bird, unaided by machine has captured the imagination of humankind as long as we have been gazing upon the world’s natural flyers. Wingsuit Flyers provides us with the chance to experience what it would be like to fly like a bird. Along with the world’s top wingsuit flyers and with the help of ever-evolving wingsuit technology, we take flight from the highest points in Europe, soar over landscapes in Moab that resemble Mars and fly above the Great Barrier Reef.

IMPACT

The powerful story of two skydivers, Mark Lucchiari and Ben Lucock, whose lives changed forever when they collided in freefall during a jump in Byron Bay. The accident left Ben with critical injuries to his knee requiring multiple surgeries, and Mark was left unconscious for the remainder of the freefall.

The road to recovery, both mentally and physically, has been a long journey for both men. But through it all, they have become close friends, and they want to share their story with the world. This film follows Mark and Ben on their road to recovery, highlighting the importance of mental health, family, recovery, and friendship. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the toughest of obstacles.
