Blind Runner – An Artist under Surveillance

2007 · 58 min

A quietly unsettling, voyeuristic watch that makes you complicit in endless observation and leaves you questioning what you are actually seeing.

Directed by
Luís Alves de Matos
Genres
Documentary
Starring
João Louro, Delfim Sardo, Raquel Dias
Overview
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.
