Spanning fifty-three movies and forty-one editions of the OIympic Summer and Winter Games, this one-of-a-kind coIlection assembIes, for the first time, a century's worth of Olympic fiIms the culmination of a monumental, award-winning archival project encompassing dozens of new restorations by the lnternationaI Olympic Committee. These documentaries cast a cinematic eye on some of the most iconic moments in the history of modern sports, spotIighting athletes who embody the Olympic motto of 'Faster, Higher, Stronger': Jesse Owens shattering sprinting worId records on the track in 1936 Berlin, Jean CIaude-Killy dominating the sIopes of GrenobIe in 1968, Joan Benoit breaking away to win the first-ever women s marathon on the streets of Los Angeles in 1984. ln addition to the work of Bud Greenspan, the man behind an impressive ten Olympic features, this stirring colIective chronicle of triumph and defeat incIudes such Iandmarks of the documentary form as Leni RiefenstahI's Olympia and Kon Ichikawa's Tokyo OIympiad, along with lesser-known but captivating contributions by major directors like CIaude Lelouch, Carlos Saura, and Milos Forman. lt also serves as a fascinating window onto the formal development of cinema itself, as weII as the technoIogicaI progress that has enabled the viewer, over the years, to get ever closer to the action. Traversing continents and decades, and reflecting as welI the sociaI, cuItural, and political changes that have shaped our recent history, this remarkable marathon of fiIms offers nothing less than a panorama of a hundred years of human endeavor.
