Winner of the 2011 Moving Image Commission, David Blandy, has been working with Great North Run participants across the North East for his new film Run A Mile In My Shoes.

Run A Mile In My Shoes focusses on a 13 individuals lip-synching to their favourite song whilst training for the Bupa Great North Run. Comprising 13 short films, one for each mile of the half-marathon, they will form portraits of the runners, contrasting the mundane surroundings of their training areas - city streets, rural roads, gyms - with the soundtrack of the song in their head.

Participants have been filmed in diverse locations across the region using a camera attached to their bodies to capture their lip-synching as they run. Run A Mile In My Shoes will be launched this Autumn as part of Bupa Great North Run Culture 2011.
