A Film by Roland Wehap (2025)

Overview

A Film by Roland Wehap is a sharp, self-aware satire that blurs the line between fiction and autobiography. In this audacious "one-man show," filmmaker Roland Wehap sets out to answer a radical question: Can you make a feature film entirely on your own and with almost no budget? With biting humor and raw honesty, the film chronicles the trials of a fiercely independent artist chasing recognition, glory - and maybe even a touch of immortality - through his uncompromising vision. Along the way, he crafts a film about his sleeping cat, launches his own film festival after rejections pile up, and briefly grabs the spotlight on the international stage. But behind the absurdity lies a sobering truth: success in the spotlight doesn't always pay the bills. Ultimately, A Film by Roland Wehap is both a satire and a love letter to filmmaking itself - a testament to creative persistence, no matter the odds.
