Screen Shot 2014-06-19 at 20.42.11Which are the films/videos that are running-inspired/related/centred? How do moving images convey/document/reflect/re-present running (as compared to still images)?

I am also sharing here 2 clips. The first is the first part of a 1980 documentary The Greatest Run on Earth by Sam Pillsbury. This film is important in helping people worldwide to understand – and remember – New Zealand’s seminal contribution to the running boom today. You can visit NZ On Screen to watch this and other films.


 


The second is Dr Alan Latham’s 2008 lecture The Zen of Running. This well-turned-up talk, which was also covered in the Independent, is important in shooting down some of the popular misconceptions I am grateful to UCL Lunch Hour Lectures for permitting us to share the clip.
