TRIBUTES AND RETROSPECTIVES
Other films, to be announced shortly, will complete this retrospective.
In 2024, the year of the Olympics, Premiers Plans gets down to sport!
The first Olympic Games of the modern era took place in 1896, just a few months after the invention of cinema. Next January, the Festival will be highlighting the links that unite sport and cinema through some twenty films from all horizons (shorts and features, fiction, documentaries, animation) showing different facets of sport in various iconic disciplines (soccer, boxing, cycling, gymnastics, ice hockey, rugby, skateboarding...). |
