Since 1912, the International Olympic Committee has been commissioning an official film to highlight the best of each edition of the Games. This year, the Ioc has enlisted Emmy-winning brothers Jules and Gédéon Naudet to helm the official film of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Naudet brothers, renowned for their Emmy-winning documentary “9/11” and subsequent works such as “Notre-Dame: Our Lady of Paris” and “November 13: Attack on Paris,” are taking a novel approach to documenting the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Instead of a traditional film composed of clips of the Games’ sporting highlights, they are delving into the heart of the event, unveiling the untold story of how a city and a nation unite to host an Olympic Games.
For the Naudets, covering an Olympic Games was an exciting prospect and an opportunity to become known as more than just the “catastrophe brothers,” Jules explained in a recent conversation with Variety.
