Alex Rogalski was raised in the era of VHS in the small town of
Melville, Saskatchewan. He studied film production at the University of
Regina, where he was introduced to the worlds of David Rimmer, Allan
King and Unit B. Thus began a life of travel and a passion for small
film. He has been the director of the One Take Super 8 Event since
2000, promoting and screening small-gauge cinema across Canada and the
United States. Alex moved to Toronto in 2004 to complete his Masters in
Communication and Culture at York University and serves as a board
member at the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre. He programs the
Short Cuts Canada section with Kathleen Mullen and Agata Smoluch del
Sorbo (currently on maternity leave).
