Stories shaped by landscape.
Engiadina
The first series of the Grischun project.
Roger Rominger forges knives in Val Fex, a valley the world comes to see and where his family has farmed for generations. Adriano Coretti logs timber above St. Moritz in summer and tends his horses in Sils Maria in winter, preparing to inherit a farm worked by three generations before him.
Grischun: Engiadina is a series of documentary films, photographs, music and writing made in the Engadin valleys of Graubünden — following people whose lives are bound to this landscape and to a Romansh-speaking culture that is both ancient and present.
Each film is accompanied by photography, recorded conversations, and a print journal produced in Romansh, German and English. The work is made from within the valley, in close collaboration with its communities.
Fexer
The first film of the Grischun series. A valley the world comes to see. A man who chose to stay.
In the remote Val Fex, a blacksmith shapes knives from the same mountains that shaped his family over generations — as the valley around him is quietly transformed.

Traunter Ovas
