Looking forward to the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, the Canadian Cultural Centre is offering a selection of films from the National Film Board of Canada collection.

On Tuesday, April 23 at 8pm, join us for the screening of the feature-length documentary “Games of the XXI Olympiad” by Jean-Claude Labrecque, Jean Beaudin, Marcel Carrière and Georges Dufaux: an immersion into the Montreal 1976 Olympic Games! Re-live, as if you were there, the Games of the XXI Olympiad, which brought fame to Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci.

Edited from almost 100 km of film footage shot during the Games, this feature documentary is a breathtaking portrait of the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Much more than a simple record of the Games, the film approaches each event with the intention of revealing the athlete – whether winner or loser – as a unique individual.

In partnership with the National Film Board of Canada
This event is part of the programme for the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad.
