SOFF 2024: The Invisible Bond

Sports and Olympic Film Festival SOFF 2024 is coming again! SOFF stands for the Sports and Olympic Films Festival, which is the first sports film festival in Estonia. It is initiated by the Estonian Sports and Olympic Museum located in Tartu and is taking place for the fourth time during the year when Tartu is the European Capital of Culture in 2024.

The Invisible Bond, The Olympic Channel, 2021

Discover the invisible bond that forges the relationship between an athlete with visual impairment and his guide. This bond transcends the field of play developed by trust, friendship, and the unwavering desire of achieving Paralympic glory.

The Documentary explores the relationship between athlete and helper, introducing three likely Paralympic athletes for Tokyo 2020 (in 2021) and the story of eight-time Paralympic champion Bob Matthews, who competed from 1984 to 2004.

The film duration is 53 minutes.

All films of the Sports and Olympic Film Festival SOFF 2024 will be screened with Estonian and English subtitles at the Elektriteater in Tartu (Jakobi 1).
