Ghosts and Gravel Roads is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Mike Rollo and released in 2008.[1] The film depicts various abandoned farm buildings in rural Saskatchewan, with a hand pinning up archival photographs suggestive of the people who might once have lived or worked there.[1]
Rollo is a film production professor at the University of Regina, and makes experimental documentary films exploring "alternative approaches to documentary cinema – methods which thematize vanishing cultures and transitional spaces."[2]
The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2008,[3] and was the winner of the Silver Mikeldi at the 2008 Zinebi - Bilbao International Documentary and Short Film Festival.[4]
