Runner

Synopsis

Runner takes its audience as close as possible to the mental and physical experience of running a marathon through sound and the moving image. Using material from the 'Great North Run' in England and combining this with specially shot sequences of a single runner, it follows the journey of a man, one soul in the flood of 50,000.

Nestled in the North Sea, between the Northern tip of Scotland and the coasts of Scandinavia, Hel is cloaked in mystery, myth and misogyny. Isolated in a place where the local community despise her, and whilst buried traumas resurface, Anna is torn between the ghosts of the past and the gods of the present. As an ill wind blows through, young girls from this fractured community begin to vanish. These missing children, her husband’s death and her own trauma become inextricably linked as Anna is haunted by unsettling flashbacks, forcing her to confront dark family secrets lurking in the shadows, before they can devour her daughter too.
