KT Auleta’s “Lost Olympics”

KT Auleta directed a series of films for Nowness.com shot on Super 8 at Fast Ashleys Studios.

Along with the likes of croquet, motor boating, pigeon shooting and tandem cycling, the three featured sports disappeared between Olympic cycles over the course of the century.

KT Auleta profiles three sports in these videos that are no longer official Olympic games: tennis, tug of war, and baseball. She created a fictional co-ed team in which she’s been able to showcase a rich and colorful dynamic between the sexes.
