In ‘Unseen Olympiad’, Director Casey Shaw Offers Unique, Sensory View Of Athletes In Competition – Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival
Elite university-age athletes are documented in a new way in 'Unseen Olympiad,' directed by Casey Shaw, premiering at the Thessaloniki Doc Festival.
Arguably lost in that barrage of coverage, however, was a sense of the athletes’ subjective experience of competition – their inner mental, emotional and physical landscape as they participated in this key moment of their young lives. The impressionistic documentary Unseen Olympiad captures that missing element of the athletes’ sensory world as they strain to achieve peak performance in summer and winter sports – swimming, track and field, fencing, ski jumping, and more.
