Let The Games Begin: UK Premiere: The Red Race + Intro (15) S
Set against the backdrop of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, The Red Race provides a rare insight into the inner workings of China’s gymnastic gold-winning team. Shot in an observational style, the film captures the realities facing the children and their families, knowing that the chances for success are slim and the journey gruelling. A fascinating study in Chinese methodology with glimpses of golden Olympic obsession and the human costs necessary to achieve it.
Introduced by Peter Metelerkamp, Programme Director of the MA in Film and TV Production, University of Bristol.
Let The Games Begin
Please note: this is a old season with no further events to see
Let the Games Begin reflects on the cultural and social significance of sport. Whilst sport and culture might not seem the most natural of companions, there is an incredible richness created when the two worlds come together as this season of films, talks and games demonstrates.

Roman Polanski's latest is a hysterically funny descent into some very, very enjoyable bad behaviour as two sets of parents try (and fail) to talk through an incident amicably.
