My Olympic Summer

NEW DOCS

In the wake of his own recently failed marriage, filmmaker Daniel Robin re-examines 8mm home movies of his parents while relating the story of how his parents’ shaky marriage was saved by his father’s involvement in the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis. Somber and visually mesmerizing, this carefully constructed film is ultimately a thoughtful meditation on love and the integrity of the photographic image.  SB
