Olympia (Prologue) - Leni Riefenstahl & Vangelis

Back


The prologue of the 1938 film "Olympia" directed by Leni Riefenstahl. It features shots of the Acropolis, ancient statues, athletes and the lighting of the Olympic flame. Olympia was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Music from the soundtrack of the Oliver Stone film "Alexander" (2004) composed by Vangelis. (The only cut I made to the video in order to match the music was in the last 15 seconds - the rest of the film remains intact in sequence of scenes and speed.)
