Guillermo Roqués

Guillermo Roqués is a journalist by training and a filmmaker by passion. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, a Master’s in Film Scriptwriting, and a Diploma in European Journalism from the universities of Aarhus and Utrecht. With over a decade of experience working for production companies and television networks in the U.S., his work spans diverse global contexts, from covering terrorism in Corsica to documenting Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria, ex-Soviet chess players in Spain, and Navajo bullfighters in Arizona.

His films explore themes of inclusion, community, housing, memory, and responsibility. Pianola (2012) examines disability inclusion in the performing arts, The Right to Rest (2019) delves into a self-governed homeless community in the U.S., and You Play My Father (2023) follows a Bosnian Srebrenica survivor and a former UN Dutchbat soldier confronting the past through theater. He is currently in production on The Dutchbat (2026), a feature-length documentary exploring war trauma and the lasting psychological consequences that can put lives on hold.
