Synopsis

While much of Australia is in lockdown, the world runs on! The RunNation Film Festival® (RunNation) will commence it’s World Tour starting in Australia and New Zealand this August.

RunNation is an original documentary film festival that was founded by a group of local runners in Sydney seven years ago. Since its creation, RunNation has grown from a local festival to a world tour that has screened around the globe including in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Portugal and other countries.

RunNation receives film submissions from around the world which are curated into an evening of short films that celebrate the human spirit using running as a medium of storytelling.

This year’s RunNation film set showcases seven short films with a focus on the mental health benefits of running. Running Isn't Cancelled discusses the impact of COVID-19 and how running has helped communities to remain connected. New Zealand film, Peak of Possibility exhibits how the protagonist has used running to help heal from the trauma of a violent, past relationship.

The tour will also feature the world premiere of indigenous focused film, Our Connection to the Blue Mountains. The film highlights the trails used for Australia's largest trail race, UltraTrail Australia, while educating us on the indigenous heritage of the land and how we can all work together to preserve the trails we love so much.
