Roman Hageman (Groningen, 2001) is a filmmaker drawn to colliding realities. He is driven by humanity in all her contradictions: uncomfortable, tender, and beautiful at the same time.
His films often follow characters under pressure, caught between inner truth and outer demand. He tells these stories through a blend of social realism, absurdism, and dark comedy: intuitive in emotion, yet stylized in form - using composition, distance, and sound to make interior worlds tangible. Rooted in the wide landscapes and quiet culture of Groningen (the Netherlands), his work carries a sense of space and silence that lingers long after the film ends.
