Filmmaker
Roddy Bogawa is a filmmaker and artist known for his unparalleled storytelling approach and his ability to delve into themes that deeply resonate with audiences. His films, blending documentary and narrative elements, offer an enthralling and thought-provoking journey. I’ve been captivated by his exploration of complex subjects like identity and memory, enriched by his experimental techniques, which truly set him apart as a distinctive voice in independent cinema. Throughout his career, Bogawa’s vision and creativity have earned him critical acclaim, making him a notable figure in the film industry.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to interview Bogawa about his latest masterpiece, “Have you got it yet?” The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd. This documentary has been highly anticipated, holding a special significance as its co-director, Storm Thorgerson, a close friend of Barrett’s and a renowned album designer, sadly passed away in 2013. Through that Bogawa delivers a moving account of Barrett’s life in a way that makes you feel like you lived it alongside him. Through his skillful storytelling, Bogawa also manages to leave some mystery to it. Allowing Barrett to keep his status as an enigma. Overall the film left me deeply moved by the experience and I hope you enjoy the interview.
