Directors, actors and athletes
Sport on screen is shaped by more than the athlete at the center of the frame. Directors decide how competition is seen; actors give sporting work a physical and emotional rhythm; documentary subjects carry real histories into the image. The people section brings those roles together through the films and stories in which they matter most.
A profile leads back to specific work rather than to a generic biography. Follow Asif Kapadia into Senna and Diego Maradona, or move from Sylvester Stallone to Rocky and the language of training and boxing mythology. The emphasis stays on what the person contributes to the sporting image.
