Senna

Director Asif Kapadia Appearing in Person (Saturday, August 20 at 4:15 pm show)

Winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, this high-octane documentary recounts the remarkable story of Ayrton Senna, the dashing young Brazilian who in the 1980s and 90s became a superstar and multiple World Champion in Formula One racing. Constructed entirely from archival footage with voiceovers, Senna spans the racing legend's years as an F1 driver, using previously unseen material, including astounding perspectives shot from behind Senna's wheel at several Grand Prix races. The film also traces the dramatic signposts of Senna's career, from his competitive relationship with French rival Alain Prost to his public differences with French F1 head Jean-Marie Balestre. An absorbing and exciting movie, even for those with no prior interest in racing, Senna is a captivating portrait of a sports artist at the height of his powers. Rated PG-13 In English and in Portuguese and French with English subtitles. Producers: James Gay-Rees, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner. Executive Producers: Kevin Macdonald, Manish Pandey, Debra Hayward, Liza Chasin. Writer: Manish Pandey. Director: Asif Kapadia.
