A Film by Roland Wehap(2025)
One filmmaker. Zero budget. Infinite ambition.
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.

The Stork(en)
The Stork is a character-driven comedy about the well-intentioned yet utterly clueless parents of a queer woman hoping to start a family through artificial insemination with Norwegian sperm ordered online — a popular route for many queer couples. When the crucial delivery arrives and their daughter isn’t home, her parents step in to help… only for the sample to be accidentally destroyed. Caught in an awkward (and decidedly unsticky) predicament with the delivery driver, the trio scramble to fix their mistake before she finds out. As they debate increasingly absurd solutions, their misunderstandings — though loving — reveal a hilarious clash of good intentions and ignorance. Through chaos, confusion, and misplaced determination, The Stork explores how far parents will go to protect their child’s happiness. It’s a heartfelt, mischievous story about unconditional love, acceptance, and the messy beauty of trying your best — even when you haven’t quite got a clue.
