Description

One of the highlights of WEP 2014 is the Film Festival, which is a whole KAUST community-orientated festival with the multi-award winning films being suitable for all ages. A privileged special feature is that a scientist, filmmaker or distinguished lecturer, will be introducing all the films, giving the audience a unique insight into the background and making of them. Breaking an incredible record – the story of Felix Baumgartner (L’incroyable record de Félix Baumgartner by Colin Barr 2012 – 88 min) On 15 October 2012 Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian, jumped from a space capsule to break the world record in free fall and to cross the sound barrier. Behind his 4 minutes 19 seconds jump we discover four years of planning.
