quattro

May 2021 •English

In the late 1970s, when the question of making a four-wheel drive rally car was raised, Audi engineers contacted FIA to consult on homologation issues. At that time, this technology was banned, and no one raised the problem of making such a car. At the time, the FIA saw no problem in authorizing the little whim, leaving the Germans to build their own toy. Following the publication of the 1979 FIA Yearbook, which lifted the ban on all-wheel drive, Audi went ahead with its design for the revolutionary quattro. Lots of people expected the quattro to look like a Jeep. Many laughed but then there was silence. Audi went ahead with its quattro, the car that will change the face of rallying forever. It was the birth of a legend that captured the imagination and brought out fans in their tens of thousands. The future had arrived.

WRC 2020 - FIA World Rally Championship

Invalid date •English

In a dramatic year, the World Rally Championship saw one of its most dramatic finishes as the title chase went down to the final round. Ott Tänak, Elfyn Evans, Sébastien Ogier and Thierry Neuville led the charge, but the season saw great drives from Gus Greensmith, Dani Sordo, Kalle Rovanperä and Esapekka Lappi among others. Even former champion Sébastien Loeb made an appearance at Rally of Turkey. With COVID-19 causing the schedule to be completely turned on its head, the WRC organisers managed nothing short of a miracle to complete seven rounds including the thrilling conclusion at ACI Rally Monza. So sit back and enjoy the action-packed highlights of an incredibly competitive year the like of which (hopefully) we'll not see again.

Volleyball

June 1966 •French

An encounter between Russian and American volleyball teams, presented more as an essay in the choreography of the players' movements than as a play-by-play report of a sports event. Various camera tricks are used to dramatize the action, notably stop-motion, that freezes the ballet-like leaps and postures of the players. The film has jazz background music. -NFB
