The official movie of last year's Tokyo Olympics, which was the first summer Olympics held in 57 years, will be released as two movies, one centered on athletes and the other depicting tournament officials. ..
The official Olympic movie was made from the 1912 Stockholm Games and was directed by Naomi Kawase at the Tokyo Games last summer.
At a press conference held in Tokyo on the 24th, the official movie of the Tokyo Games was
▽ "SIDE: A" centered on athletes and
▽ "SIDE: B" depicting the people involved in the Games, volunteers, citizens, etc.
It was announced that the two works would be from different perspectives.
Regarding this, Director Kawase said, "It is something that must be left in history, and there were many situations where the new coronavirus divided us. If we do not record the situation not only for athletes during the tournament, we will tell the future. Isn't it meaningless as an archive? "
He added, "Japan has spent this time in this phase. I hope that the next generation will be able to make it like a textbook, whether the choices we made were right or wrong. Thank you. "
The official movie of the Tokyo Games will be released in June this year.
