Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl (German:[ˈʁiːfənʃtaːl]; 22 August 1902 – 8 September 2003) was a German film director, producer, screenwriter, editor, photographer, actress, dancer, and propagandist for the Nazis.
Born in 1902 into a LutheranProtestant family, Leni Riefenstahl grew up in Germany with her brother Heinz (1905–1944) who was killed on the Eastern Front in World War II. A talented swimmer and artist, she also became interested in dancing during her childhood, taking dancing lessons and performing across Europe.
After seeing a promotional poster for the 1924 film Der Berg des Schicksals ("The Mountain of Destiny"), Riefenstahl was inspired to move into acting. Between 1925 and 1929, she starred in five successful motion pictures. In 1932, Riefenstahl decided to try directing with her own film called Das Blaue Licht ("The Blue Light"). In the 1930s, she directed Triumph des Willens ("Triumph of the Will") and Olympia, resulting in worldwide attention and acclaim. Both movies are widely considered two of the most effective, and technically innovative, propaganda films ever made. Her involvement in Triumph des Willens, however, would significantly damage her career and reputation after the war. The exact nature of her relationship with Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler remains a matter of debate, although a friendship is known to have existed.
Leni is a comune (municipality) and one of the main towns on Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands. It is situated in the Province of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 140 kilometres (87mi) northeast of Palermo and about 70 kilometres (43mi) northwest of Messina. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 654 and an area of 8.6 square kilometres (3.3sqmi).
Leni lies on the slope of the hill on the south of the island, 200 metres (660ft) above the sea, between the volcanoes of Monte Fossa and Monte dei Porri.
The municipality of Leni contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Rinella, at the coast to the south, and Valdichiesa, in the centre of the island, to the north of Leni.
Râciu (Hungarian:Mezőrücs, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɛzøːrytʃ]) is a commune in Mureş County, Romania composed of fifteen villages: Căciulata, Coasta Mare (Nagyoldal), Cotorinau, Cureţe, Hagău (Hágó), Leniş (Lenes), Nima Râciului (Rücsinéma), Obârşie, Pârâu Crucii (Keresztpatak), Râciu, Sânmărtinu de Câmpie (Mezőszentmárton), Ulieş (Nagyölyves), Valea Sânmărtinului (Forrásészka), Valea Seacă (Szárazpatak) and Valea Ulieşului (Ölyvespatak). It has a population of 3,752: 90% Romanians, 4% Hungarians and 6% Roma.
Leni Riefenstahl: Olympia - Festival of Nations (1936)
Olympia is a 1938 German documentary film written, directed and produced by Leni Riefenstahl, documenting the 1936 Summer Olympics, held in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany. The film was released in two parts: Olympia 1. Teil — Fest der Völker (Festival of Nations) and Olympia 2. Teil — Fest der Schönheit (Festival of Beauty). It was the first documentary feature film of the Olympic Games ever made. Many advanced motion picture techniques, which later became industry standards but which were groundbreaking at the time, were employed —including unusual camera angles, smash cuts, extreme close-ups, placing tracking shot rails within the bleachers, and the like. The techniques employed are almost universally admired, but the film is controversial due to its political context. Neverthele...

Olympia set the precedent for future films documenting and glorifying the Olympic Games, particularly the Summer Games. The 1936 Summer Olympics torch relay was devised by the German sports official Dr. Carl Diem for these Olympic Games in Berlin. Riefenstahl later staged the torch relay for this film, with competitive events of the Games.

1936年8月1日,德国领袖希特勒宣布柏林奥运会正式开幕,并由运动员弗里茨·希尔根点燃圣火。这届奥运会首次举行圣火接力传递,由希腊奥林匹亚,经保加利亚、南斯拉夫、匈牙利、捷克斯洛伐克、奥地利等国,传到终点德国柏林,路线全长约3000公里。圣火传递的概念由卡尔·丁姆(Carl Diem)倡议,他是纳粹德国政府宣传部长约瑟夫·戈培尔的政治顾问,专责筹办奥运事宜。
所有比赛项目的4百万张门票被抢购一空,这届奥运会亦首次通过电视及广播电台转播比赛,当局于柏林市内设置25台大型电视萤幕,动用20部电台广播车及300支麦克风,并以28种语言进行电台节目的广播。莱尼·里芬斯塔尔为此次奥运会拍摄纪录片《奥林匹亚》(Olympia)。
《奥林匹亚》(英语:Olympia)是由莱尼·里芬斯塔尔执导的记录柏林1936年夏季奥林匹克运动会的纪录片,也是由国际奥委会授权的第一部关于奥林匹克运动会的纪录片,于1938年4月20日在德国首映。
这部纪录片分为“民族的节日”和“美的祭典”两部分。许多开创性的高级电影技术后来成为行业标准,并受到普遍赞赏,例如独特的拍摄视角,跳跃剪接 (smash cuts),大特写和推轨镜头。这部电影由于其政治背景备受争议,但却获得了1938年威尼斯电影节最佳影片奖等六项奖项,被时代周刊列为百部影片之一。

Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl (German:[ˈʁiːfənʃtaːl]; 22 August 1902 – 8 September 2003) was a German film director, producer, screenwriter, editor, photographer, actress, dancer, and propagandist for the Nazis.
Born in 1902 into a LutheranProtestant family, Leni Riefenstahl grew up in Germany with her brother Heinz (1905–1944) who was killed on the Eastern Front in World War II. A talented swimmer and artist, she also became interested in dancing during her childhood, taking dancing lessons and performing across Europe.
After seeing a promotional poster for the 1924 film Der Berg des Schicksals ("The Mountain of Destiny"), Riefenstahl was inspired to move into acting. Between 1925 and 1929, she starred in five successful motion pictures. In 1932, Riefenstahl decided to try directing with her own film called Das Blaue Licht ("The Blue Light"). In the 1930s, she directed Triumph des Willens ("Triumph of the Will") and Olympia, resulting in worldwide attention and acclaim. Both movies are widely considered two of the most effective, and technically innovative, propaganda films ever made. Her involvement in Triumph des Willens, however, would significantly damage her career and reputation after the war. The exact nature of her relationship with Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler remains a matter of debate, although a friendship is known to have existed.
