Director: Miloš Forman, Kon Ichikawa, Claude Lelouch, Jurij Ozerov, Arthur Penn, Michael Pfleghar, John Schlesinger, Mai Zetterling • Scenario: David Hughes, Deliara Ozerowa, Shuntaro Tanikawa

Visions of Eight is a film about the personal dreams which make the Olympic Games transcend the physical into the spiritual. when granted the authority to record the 1972 official film of the Games, the Wolper Organization elected to eschew the traditional documentary approach in favour of the human stories spelled out during the contests. Although the cameras recorded the tragic events surrounding the death of the Israli athletes, the film remains a non - political tribute to all the contestants and to the spirit of the Olympic Games.. Previous Olympic films were essentially sports reportage, an area now amply covered by television. This film is seen through the eyes of eight great directors, each of whom interpreted that part of the Olympiad spectacle that interested them most.
