The White Stadium

The Winter Olympics of 1928 in St. Moritz were the first professionally recorded on film. Fanck created a new type of Olympic chronicle: now it was a regular news coverage intended for full-fledged evening screenings at theatres. Although he had only tow cameras he managed to shoot 30000 meters of film which he used to create a poetic spectacle filled with free play of fantasy in editing. (Moscow International Film Festival)
