The documentary of the Berlin Games (held in 1936) directed by Riefenstahl will be screened, selected from amongst many documentary films of the modern Olympics. The Olympic Games originated from ancient Greek competitions. This film captures that inherited ancient Greek spirit, through scenes exhibiting the polished physiques of athletes and the spectacle of the filmed games. With a spectrum of camera angles and scenes of athletes with highly polished physiques. As one of the great sports documentaries that influenced future generations, Olympia (1938) is not to be missed.
