Luc-Henri Fage is an explorer, journalist, photographer and filmmaker, born in 1957 in Paris. Caving allows him to experience the unique feeling of exploration. After numerous discoveries in France and Algeria, he took part in a national caving expedition in Papua New Guinea and brought back his first film in 16 mm.
From then on, he combines his passion for travel and discovery with an activity as a director of documentary films, often dealing with the underground world (the chasm of the Pierre Saint-Martin, the megadollines of Papua, the deserted islands of Chilean Patagonia...), but also of pure adventure (crossing New Guinea on foot, rafting down Zaire, crossing Borneo), and also of archaeology in which he immerses himself after his discovery of Borneo's unpublished rock art, which he explores and studies over the course of some fifteen expeditions. "Neanderthal, the Mystery of Bruniquel Cave" is his 16th documentary film.
