Triumph of the Will & Olympia directed by Leni Riefenstahl

Description

Two full-length movies

Triumph of the Will: – The subject of the film is the 1934 Nazi Party convention. Riefenstahl’s film pioneered many dramatic techniques of film direction and editing which have effectively translated to the screen all the paganistic joy, the unrestrained emotion, and the awesome power which characterized the Nazi rallies.

Olympia: – A powerful documentary that stands the test of time to show the extreme gift of one of history’s best female directors. A woman under the Nazi regime in Germany, who became one of Adolf Hitler’s most prized talents, Leni Riefenstahl created powerfully moving and beautifully visual films showcasing the 1936 Olympics which were held in Berlin, Germany during the Nazi regime.
