Lithuanian filmmaker Andrius Blaževičius serves up an “anxiety attack masquerading as a movie - but in a good way” in his sophomore feature RUNNER, which had its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and won the award for Best Baltic Film at Tallinn Black Nights.

“A kinetic portrayal of an extraordinary young woman paradoxically trapped at a psychological impasse.” –Variety
