Paris 1924: An Olympic Epic

This archive-driven film gives audiences a glimpse of the Olympic Games held in Paris a century ago and marks the 100th anniversary of the Games returning to the French capital. The VIII Olympiad showcased the grandeur of the opening ceremony and looked at the challenges faced in organising the event. The beautifully shot footage (bearing in mind that it was 100 years ago) vividly captures the electrifying atmosphere of the Games, and the athletes and provides insights into the meticulous preparations. The 1924 Games were the first-ever to be shot on film, and the original film was digitised, restored, and re-edited with a modern audience in mind.
