Blind Runner – An Artist under Surveillance

In this film an artist is under 24-hour surveillance. Through a continuous circulation of images and sounds, the spectator becomes an accomplice and witness to all his movements. During this process we ask ourselves not only why we are following the artist in this way but also about the meaning and the nature of his work.

Directed by Luís Alves de Matos, Blind Runner – An Artist under Surveillance leans on a strong ensemble — João Louro, Delfim Sardo, Raquel Dias — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2007.
