Janusz Orłowski aka „Grandpa” (Praszczur) is unique.
He began paragliding after he turned seventy. He stood out in the group of young, athletic paragliders at Monte Grappa in Italy by simply being the oldest. Ten years later, at the age of 88, he started dreaming of flying from Mount Olympus. Although it was difficult for him to climb up Zeus’ mountain, he spread his wing at the top and soared into the air. Grandpa has no intention of giving up, fulfilling one dream after another. At the age of 91 he rose to the height of 326 meters above the ground, earning himself a record in the Guinness Book of Records.
“Still Flying…” tells the story of Grandpa and documents the metaphorical path of man towards eternity.

On November 5, 2015, Brazil faced the biggest environmental disaster in its history. The rupture of a dam in Mariana, Minas Gerais, has dumped more than 62 million cubic meters of toxic mud, leading to destruction and death.
Thinking of showing the social, economic and environmental impacts caused one year after the disaster, Lu Marini started the expedition Tracing the Doce River. About a thousand kilometers were crossed between part of the Piranga, Carmo and Gualaxo rivers, responsible for transporting all the mud of ore tailings to the Doce River, and then for all the extension of that same river. He spent 22 days flying over and getting closer to the hidden reality behind who lost everything to the mud.
