Grischun: Engiadina
—
Five films — Romansh valleys, Swiss Alps — 2026
A series of five long-form documentary portraits from the Romansh-speaking communities of Graubünden (Grischun). Each film follows a single person — a blacksmith, a farmer, a shepherd — through the rhythms of work, season, and place.
The series does not mourn what is passing. It looks at what endures, and at the cost of being the person through whom things endure.
I — Fexer
Location: Val Fex
Subject: Roger Rominger — father, knifemaker, blacksmith and farmer.
Logline: 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.
Status: In production
II — Traunter Ovas
Location: Segl/Sils Maria
Subject: Adriano Coretti — A young farmer and forester.
Logline: In Sils Maria — where chalets sell for millions and philosophers have always come to think — Adriano Coretti is preparing to inherit thirty-five hectares of mountain land and everything that lives on it. In doing so, he holds onto something the valley's more visible inhabitants have largely stopped looking for.
