Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

The French football team is assumed to be loved by all because it is « black-blanc- beur », but nowadays it is « black- black- black”, what makes Europe laugh”. Alain Finkielkraut is right, the French football team is mainly composed by skin coloured players. Nonetheless, if we can wonder about the laughter of Europe there is no doubt about the wrath of France. They are named Thuram, Karembeu or Tresor, they are black and have dreamed to be “blue”, colour of the French football team. Let’s look back at the saga. In 1931, the first skin coloured player, Raoul Diagne, was chosen to play in the national football team. Since, more than 60 players with African- Caribbean origins have worn the French colours. The documentary deals with this story, thanks to exclusive testimonies and unseen archives.

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

A film about one of the most iconic images of the 20th century, the moment in which the radical spirit of the Sixties upstaged the greatest sporting event in the world. Two men made a courageous gesture that reverberated around the world and changed their lives forever. 1968 was a revolutionary year. In Paris students revolted on the street, while in Prague Russian tanks rolled into the city to stop the peaceful revolution. The assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King shocked the world. In America the struggle for civil rights had lead to a series of bitter and violent confrontations on the streets. There were a number of unforgettable performances at Mexico City Olympic Games where many world records were broken. But the enduring image from the 1968 Games didn’t take place during a race. Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the African American athletes raised their gloved clenched fists in support of the Black Panther movement during the Star Spangled Banner, after receiving gold and bronze medals for their triumph in the 200m sprint. They were subsequently banned from the Games for life. What inspired them to make their protest? Why did it carry such a powerful message? And what happened to the unlikely revolutionaries following the Games? lack Power Salute reveals the untold story behind one of the most controversial chapters in Olympic history: the ‘Black Power’ protests at the 1968 Olympic Games. Most notably, Tommie Smith and John Carlos’ stand at the Mexico City Games. TV footage of African-American 200m sprinters’ black-gloved, clenched fist salutes on the medal rostrum sent shockwaves around the world, and provided one of the most potent and iconic images of protest of the twentieth century. Tommie, the gold medal winner, explains why he broke the taboo forbidding mixing sport and politics, and the price he paid for his display. Yet his was not the only black American show of defiance on the victory stand. The narrative includes contributions from Lee Evans, his close friend and college team-mate who staged a Black Panther-style protest following his success in the 400m. And from Bob Beamon – who shattered the world long jump record – and Ralph Boston, who also politicised their medal ceremony. This eclectic tale traces the athletes’ actions to the militant black politics of Professor Harry Edwards, the founder and guru of the Olympic Project for Human Rights. Harry, who taught Tommie, John and Lee at San Jose State College, explains OPHR’s genesis as a civil rights vehicle agitating for a black American Olympic boycott to highlight racial inequality in the USA, and talks about his inspirational input to his ‘disciples’’ ‘Black Power’ protests. A truly diverse story, Black Power Salute uncovers the vital contribution to OPHR’s cause of white sympathisers. Not least, the sensational support of the all-white Harvard rowing crew, who represented the USA at the Games. Paul Hoffman, the crew’s cox, reveals their motivation and how it nearly cost him his place in the rowing final. Other athletes and commentators discuss the symbolism of Peter Norman’s role in Tommie and John’s infamous stand. In a serious breach of Olympic protocol, the Australian demonstrated his support for their cause by donning an OPHR badge as he received his silver medal. Finally, this is the story of Avery Brundage, the man who tried to stop Tommie et al. An octogenarian American millionaire businessman – who barred Negroes from his country club – he ran the International Olympic Committee. And he deployed his minions – including the legendary Olympian Jesse Owens – in an ultimately fruitless offensive to silence the ‘Black Power’ protesters.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

Black Power Salute features an excellent array of classic archive from many different sources including vintage BBC archive coverage of the '68 Olympics, to camera pieces from Frank Bough, and an interview with Tommie and John by David Coleman, as well as a rare piece of French archive showing Tommie Smith and Lee Evans in the year before the Olympics. It was due to such great archive that this film became an illuminating and entertaining insight into a epoch making slice of modern history.

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

An intimate, comprehensive and entertaining portrait of one of Britain's greatest racing drivers. Graham Hill achieved the unique feat of winning the Formula 1 World Championship, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 hour race - the 'triple crown' of motor racing - which no one has equaled since. He also won the Monaco Grand Prix a record 5 times. Away from the circuit, he was a comical and irrepressible free spirit, synonymous of an era when sex was safe - and motor racing was dangerous!  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

Portraying the achievements of our long-dead principal character would have been untenable without a great palette of archive to work from. The range of material unearthed during this production included long-lost BBC tapes that even they didn't have copies of, out-take rushes from past productions, family home movies, as well as a number of commercial libraries. We believe these have all been creatively utilized to create a rich tapestry on-screen that not only vividly captures the essence of a sporting legend, but crucially also, the arena in which he performed, and the spirit of the times he lived in.

BBC Material shot in Brazil around interview  

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

Six weeks after captaining Europe's Ryder Cup team to their heaviest defeat of the century Nick Faldo agreed to be interviewed by Gabby Logan for BBC Inside Sport. The setting for the feature was the Costa Do Sauipe Holiday/golf resort in Brazil which was hosting the Final of the Faldo Series.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

The original brief was for the film to be a twelve minute feature to touch on the Faldo series and get his reflections on the Ryder Cup defeat. Based on the strength of archive material discovered prior to shooting and the main interviews done on location the request was made by the producer to make a half hour special and take a more detailed look at Faldo's life. This was the end result.

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

Nation on Film: Munich Remembered Synopsis This is the story of one of sports greatest tragedies – as recorded on newsreels at the time, and as it is remembered by two survivors. The Munich air crash brought sudden death to a football team – the Busby Babes of Manchester United. Sir Bobby Charlton and Harry Gregg give moving accounts of what happened in 1958. Within the programme Charlton also recalls the exciting days before the crash and watches, for the first time, what is believed to be the only colour footage of the Babes in action. He also views carefully choreographed newsreel footage of himself recovering in hospital.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

Why it should win? The programme was made to mark the 50th anniversary of Munich. Powerful personal testimony and film archive were crafted together to tell an emotional story. Sir Bobby Charlton’s interview was an “exclusive” and now represents an important piece of archive in itself. A ‘sister’ programme was also made (Sir Bobby Remembers Munich) allowing this key interview to run at length. The main programme was transmitted on BBC2 and BBC4 but its impact was much wider with elements being transmitted on several other BBC programmes – including Match of the Day and Radio 4’s Archive Hour

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

Born in Dublin in 1903, Stanley Woods is still judged to be one of only five riders who are the best motorcyclists in the world over the past 100 years. Stanley who enjoyed a superstar lifestyle, has been uniquely captured on film by his wife Mildred and other family friends. This archival treasure has been discovered after being lost to the family for more than thirty years. However, this is not just another motorcycle film or a slice of the social history of Ireland from the 20s to the 60s-it is a story of these two people who were the ‘Posh and Becks’ of their era. Stanley, the handsome international racer and Mildred, the glamorous young wife, who with others, brilliantly filmed him at work and play enjoyed a lifestyle befitting an international sportsman. The continental holidays, extensively recorded on film and the social events at home are witness to this. The film will cover all of Stanley’s long life but concentrate on the golden era of the 1920s and 30’s when he made his impact on the world stage and brought great honour to his home country of Ireland. Stanley boasts a lifetime total of 20 European Grand Prix wins and 10 Isle of Man TT’s

Brief Synopsis in English (up to 100 words):

Thriller in Manila tells the story of the bitter and intense rivalry surrounding what is now considered the greatest ever boxing match in history. It charts the vicious feud, entwined with the racial politics of 1970s America, which formed between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier over 3 fights, culminating in their most-famous fight in 1975 in the Philippines . The objective was to produce a film that wasn’t just a sports film but something that would appeal to a wider audience, to include race, religion and politics.  

Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words):

The challenges presented with an archive led sports film set in the 1970’s, against a backdrop of American social history are extensive. Incorporating 36 sources of footage, stills and audio, totalling over 50 mins, “Thriller” successfully blends sports, news, personal and social archive footage with revealing interviews to produce a visually powerful film about greatest fighters in history.
