🌹A Roof Over My Head🌹
Alejandra Rogghé Pérez
An intimate autobiographical documentary.
A granddaughter makes a film for her grandfather during the first year of her grandmother’s death. Aware that one day he too will pass away, she uses the camera as a bridge between two mourning processes. The film takes on the aesthetic and structure of a sketchbook. Fragmented thoughts, pencil drawings and interwoven text in Spanish and Dutch come into contact with one another as the pages/recordings are turned. Across current filming, archival footage and superimposed sketches we enter a visual world that is as naïf as it is mature.
«What would become of us, the people, without a little bit tenderness? Children wouldn’t hear stories, and grandparents wouldn’t get any visits.»
🌹How Should I FilmDeer🌹
How Should I Film Deer?" is an essayistic film composed as an open letter to my friend Forough Jalilian in Tehran. Rooted in a personal and diaristic approach to filmmaking, the work reflects on the process of making a personal film and documents fragments of everyday life from a first-person perspective.
Filmed over a period of time without a rigid narrative or structure, the work embraces moments that might otherwise remain unseen.
The film is part of a broader practice rooted in essayistic cinema, where the creative use of the personal becomes central to form and meaning. It reflects my interest in using film not only as a medium for storytelling but also as a space for reflection, correspondence, and poetic inquiry.
