Is he a visionary? Or is he mad? A record-holding skydiver, Hauser has a grand ambition: to become the first man to jump into a hurricane force jet stream at over 8,000 meters. A big risk, but with potentially huge rewards. As Hauser's preparations take shape, the scale of his challenge becomes clear.

It’s a record with a scientific purpose. Marc wants to bring attention to airborne wind energy systems, which are designed to harness the enormous power of high-altitude winds. It’s an untapped gigantic energy source, that has the potential to alleviate the global energy crisis.

The filmscreening will be followed by a paneltalk with representant from industry, science and politics.

Opening "Chasing the Jet Stream" is Oscar Nominee Short Film "Daughter"
