WhyWhyZed's video: The Gzim Project: Nightmare

A few months ago, a Swedish filmmaker named Knutte Wester approached me with the idea of producing some machinima material for his documentary, The Gzim Project. The film tells the story of Gzim, who as a young boy survived the ethnic cleansing of the Kosovo War in the 1990s. These clips are the result. Voice tracks will be added by Knutte and his team. "When Gzim was four he witnessed a massacre on Albanian speaking Muslims in Kosovo. Even though he was four he knew what language he used and what god his family prayed to. He understood that the hatred was directed to him. So he fled. Then they had to leave Macedonia for the same reason, were then made to leave Norway and were finally forced out of Sweden. Because of who he was born to. This is a warm story about a fantastic person, told in dark and mean scenery. It is really about that one moment that changes our life. This is Gzim's story, narrated through my artistic interpretation. I become Gzim's witness and narrator. Gzim develops from a disillusioned teenager to a small boy with a spirit that seems to be unbreakable. Our relationship is important to us both. In this film the friendship is also a metaphor; Gzim reflects himself in the outside world, the outside world being I. To understand the recent European history and to avoid repeating the deportations, oppression and genocide, we need Gzim's story. We need Gzim." http://gzimproject.com
