Olympia (Imperial Japan)

 

 

 

 The Japan Times newspaper advertisement for the film in 1940:

Unlike our two A4 cardboard poster sheets with reverse printing of press materials/film stills about Olympia from Imperial Japan,, this is a "bona fide" A2 sized original 1938 poster advertising the Part I of Olympia, "Fest der Völker." It is mounted on linen, so has been preserved in brilliant condition. A very, very rare item to have survived either the the napalm bombs, fire storms, or the two atom bombings of Japan in 1945, when most paper products, archives and the majority of Japan's film archive went up in flames or were vaporised.

 

During the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, the Ufa movie theaters were running new feature films such as Louis Trenker's Der Kaiser von Kalifornien and Leni Riefenstahl's feature–length documentary film, Triumph des Willens.
