Olympia Part 1, Festival of Nations , is a representation of the human body and Olympia Part 2, Festival of Beauty , showcases athletes from all nations involved in all sports.
Famous also for its ground breaking film techniques, Olympia employs unusual camera angles, smash cuts, extreme close-ups and the use of moving cameras. Olympia is the first documentary film on the Olympic Games ever made. Olympia set the precedent for future films documenting and glorifying the Olympic Games, particularly the Summer Games.
