What Olympia Part One: Festival of the Nations Is About
The documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and the first of two parts. It was made by Leni Riefenstahl with the backing of the Nazi government, so it is as much a display for the regime as a record of sport. After a long opening reaching back to ancient Greece, more than twenty athletic events follow, closing with the marathon. Jesse Owens winning four gold medals is in this part. Riefenstahl's methods, cameras dug into pits and slow motion, directly shaped later sports broadcasting. The technical command is beyond dispute, and so is what it was made for.
