Mike Rollo's work explores alternative approaches to documentary cinema — methods that thematize vanishing communication cultures, rural industries, and transitional spaces through references to memory, history, religion, and autobiography. He is a founding member of Montreal's experimental film collective Double Negative and Independent Visions in Regina (SK). Mike's films have screened at festivals and galleries such as the Atlanta Film Festival (USA), Ann Arbor Film Festival (USA), Edinburgh International Film Festival, International Festival of Documentary and Short Film of Bilbao, International Film Festival Oberhausen, Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (USA), Kassel Documentary Film Festival (Germany), Los Angeles Film Forum, Marseille Festival of Documentary Film, Museum of Modern Art (Brazil), Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal, and Rotterdam International Film Festival. Mike teaches film production at the University of Regina.
