Equally heartfelt and hair-raising, FLY offers truly awesome big-screen viewing, inviting audiences to take the leap into a visceral experience that celebrates living your life and following your dreams through the beauty of human flight. While the risk of injury and death are a part of the life BASE jumpers have chosen, FLY shows the passion for living that guides three couples whose love stories are unique and extraordinary. In getting to know them, audiences are introduced to the tight-knit community of BASE jumpers, athlete adventurers bound by their shared love for each other and the exhilaration of defying gravity.<\/p>\n<p>Hailed as &#8220;truly awesome big screen viewing,&#8221; by POV Magazine and &#8220;thrilling and gut-wrenching&#8221; by In The Seats, FLY follows three couples entwined in the world of BASE jumping, risking everything for the rush of feeling truly alive: Jimmy Pouchert and Marta Empinotti, pioneering figures affectionately known as the Mom and Pop of BASE jumping; the fearless wingsuit pilot Scotty Bob Morgan and his newfound love, Julia Botelho Morgan; and the resilient duo Amber Forte and Espen Fadnes, whose bond is tested by triumph and tragedy. Through breathtaking aerial footage, v\u00e9rit\u00e9 scenes, and intimate interviews, the film explores the complex balance between passion and sacrifice. A poignant love story that celebrates the spirit of those who dare to defy gravity, capturing the essence of what it truly means to live on the edge.<\/p>\n<p>Directors Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau share their vision: &#8220;For the past seven years, we have been documenting the lives of BASE jumpers. Our films, much like our approach, seek to raise questions rather than provide answers. Who are these individuals, and what drives them to risk their lives for a passion knowing it could possibly kill them? Standing on the edge of a cliff and leaping into the void requires a willingness to sacrifice everything &#8211; be it the love of your life or the life you love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IMAX is excited to partner with National Graphic to bring the breathtaking world of BASE jumping to life in the most awe-inspiring, immersive way possible,&#8221; said John Turner, head of Documentaries for IMAX. &#8220;FLY offers a unique lens into the world of these daring athletes and takes audiences to the precipice of danger from takeoff to landing. Powered by IMAX, it&#8217;ll be a thrilling ride like no other.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-3909172872\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;FLY is an exhilarating and deeply moving film that gives viewers an intimate look at athletes who are pushing the limits of human potential.
