Grischun
A 5-part, short documentary series: a living archive of identity, memory, and place through moving image.
Grischun is a cinematic exploration of Romansh identity as it persists in the high Alpine landscapes of southeastern Switzerland.
Through intimate portraits of individuals whose lives remain intertwined with the land, the film reveals a culture that speaks not only through words, but through gesture, craft, and rhythm.

A blacksmith and farmer in Val Fex reflects on his life, his family, and the land that shaped them — a meditation on belonging, resilience, and the quiet erosion of a way of life.
Roger Rominger is more than a craftsman – he is the last link in a centuries-old tradition in Val Fex, where his family has lived for generations.
As he forges knives from Alpine steel, the Engadine around him is changing: luxury chalets are replacing farmhouses, winter resorts are replacing communal traditions, and the Romansh language is fading from memory.
It is a portrait of a man, a craft, and a landscape in transition – and a meditation on the deeper question of cultural survival. The story is not about overcoming — it’s about what endures.
