Du terrain de jeu au grand écran - Fondation FIBA

Imagine the smell of popcorn in the air, the lights dimming, and suddenly you're transported from the comfortable seat of your local cinema to the adrenaline-fuelled world of basketball. Come to the House of Basketball to discover the brand new exhibition ‘From the court to the big screen’, in which we explore the magical crossover between basketball and cinema.

Cinema is often referred to as the seventh art. It's a magical portal that allows us to escape reality, live different lives and explore new worlds. When you combine that with the dynamic and exciting world of basketball, you get an unbeatable combination. ‘From the court to the big screen’ brings you an impressive 90 films from over 20 countries, spanning almost a century of basketball in the cinema, from the early days of black and white films to today's blockbusters. We have selected these films to give you as comprehensive an overview as possible of how basketball and cinema have found their way into society through love stories, educational proposals, values, fiction...
