2024 Olympics: Approaches to two popular cultural phenomena of our present
Sports and film: These are two of the most popular cultural phenomena of our time. And that worldwide. Regardless of nation, religion, age or gender: sport and film move people actively or passively, regularly or sporadically, alone or too many. Many documentaries immerse themselves in the history of sport, and just as many bring people closer to it by capturing their passion for a particular sport, creatively linking the two.
In feature films, too, the phenomenon of "sport" appears again and again, partly as a mirror of human passions, partly as a reflex to a sometimes painful ego, accompanied by compulsions and crises, neuroses, successes and failures. Sports films are as entertaining as they are enlightening when they capture both social and sporting reality.
