Thanks again for submitting Ida Rolf - Mother of Fascia to the Roscommon International Film Festival. We recently had the opportunity to watch your film, and we wanted to personally reach out to provide some feedback.
Ida Rolf - Mother of Fascia is an illuminating documentary that brings recognition to Dr. Ida Rolf, a pioneering figure whose work on fascia has only recently begun receiving the scientific validation it deserves. The film traces her remarkable journey through a lifetime of obstacles, showing how her relentless curiosity and resilience led to the development of Structural Integration.
Even for viewers unfamiliar with fascia, the documentary succeeds in making her discoveries accessible, while highlighting the courage it took for a woman in her era to challenge conventional medical thinking. What makes the film particularly engaging is its willingness to explore not just the science, but also the metaphysical dimensions of Rolf’s work. The inclusion of aura photography and other unconventional perspectives adds a fascinating layer, suggesting how Rolf’s ideas bridged the gap between hard science and holistic practice. This balance of biography, scientific history, and spiritual exploration makes the film both thought-provoking and quietly inspiring, offering audiences a chance to appreciate how far ahead of her time Dr. Rolf truly was.
Once again, thank you for sharing your film with us. We truly appreciate the time and effort you put into creating it.
Kind regards,
Andrew and Christine
