Cinema and sport have historically shared a unique symbiotic relationship, driven by a fascination with bodies in motion and the ability to create a powerful sense of community. On the occasion of the  “CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM”exhibition at the Centre d’Arts Santa Mònica, we present a film series where sport takes centre stage—whether as a social barometer, pure athletic spectacle, or a tool for rewriting the rules.
