Rúnturinn, heimildamynd í sínum skýrasta skilningi þó unnið sé með formið, lá lengi í dvala en var dregin aftur fram og kláruð. Rúnturinn er heimild um menningu ungs fólks á Íslandi og mynduð í þremur bæjum, Akranesi, Keflavík og Blönduósi sumarið 1999.

Þetta er sjálfstæð heimildamynd sem er jafnframt fyrsti hluti þríleiks. Rætt er við fólk á rúntinum um föstudags- og laugardagskvöld og rúntmenningin skoðuð ofan í kjölinn.

Rúnturinn, is a documentary in the  purest sense of the word and yet at the same time it explores the limits of this field. The film stock had lain dormant since 1999 until it was taken to the editing room and finished in 2016.  Rúnturinn 1 was filmed in three towns; Akranes, Keflavík and Blönduósi in the summer of 1999. It focuses on the youth culture of these towns and specifically the activity of “runturinn” and the rituals related to these weekend drives through the streets.

This is an independent documentary that is also the first part of a trilogy. We meet the young people on the “rúntur” on Friday and Saturday nights and listen to their stories and examine the culture of “rúnturinn” in depth.
