Talk:Olympia (1938 film)

Untitled
I put in the section on different versions. It would be nice if a list of the sequences of the film could be included, with indications as to where they are in each version (clearly a long-term project). kosboot 20:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Olympia Poster.jpg
Image:Olympia Poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nazi propaganda?
How is this a propaganda film at all? Sure, it's filmed in Nazi Germany, but they aren't exactly trying to push NS views, or any other variety of political viewpoints on the viewer. 60.242.249.235 (talk) 13:32, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's amusing that the English Wikipedia article begins "...is a documentary" whereas the German Wikipedia begins "....is a propaganda film." The German article on the 1936 games has an extensive section on how the games were used as a propaganda tool of the Nazi regime. Thus the creation of this film is one that fits neatly into that overall scheme. - kosboot (talk) 13:50, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Copyright Status
As part of a research project I corresponded the Bundesarchiv in Berlin, concerning the copyright status of "Olympia." The film had its copyright restored as a result of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, and listed in the document under the title "Olympia, 1. Teil: Fest der Voelker" and "Olympia, 2. Teil: Fest der Schoenheit." The Bundesarchiv and Transit Film are responsible for licensing the rights. The film has also been registered with the U.S. Copyright register in Washington and a "notice of intent to enforce a copyright restored under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act" filed by Transit Film, GmbH in Free State of Bavaria (Federal State of Germany) Dachauer St. 35; 80335 Munchen; Germany. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaptAubrey (talk • contribs) 16:35, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Riefenstahl repeatedly re-edited the film (compare the Rohauer print with prints from the 1970s). Each version could conceivably be copyrightable, so the film will stay in copyright for many decades to come. - kosboot (talk) 18:25, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Music by Walter Gronostay?
I've been following this film since 1972 and this article is the first time I've heard heard of Walter Gronostay's name mentioned in association with the film. He's listed in the infobox but not in the body of the article. I checked various versions of the DVD but also don't see Gronostay's name. What is the basis for this assertion? - kosboot (talk) 15:41, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
