Rolla is a filmmaker and filmweaver whose work drifts between narrative and experimental both in form and content. Her films—shot on Super 8, 16mm, and 35mm—have screened across Canada and beyond. Drawn to the fragility and durability of celluloid film, she continuously explores how to expand and rethink medium, process and their possibilities.At the heart of her weaving practice is reverence for tradition and sustainability.
