Gzim Rewind [2012]

En resa genom en ung flyktings liv; från tonåren i ett trasigt Kosovo baklänges genom tiden till flykten, till Norge och till hans barndom på en flyktingförläggning i norra Sverige. Tillbaka till den dag på en frusen sjö då hans värld än en gång slet isär. Under åtta år har regissören Knutte Wester filmat sin vän Gzim. I omvänd kronologisk nystar Wester upp en berättelse om vänskap, förlust och viljan att passa in.

Gzim Rewind

I have filmed my friend Gzim half his life. Eight years ago I moved my studio to a refugee camp in northern Sweden. The young refugee Gzim, whose family was applying for asylum in Sweden, started to come to my studio. He was 8 and had spent his childhood in refugee camps across Europe. By now he is 16 and lives in Kosovo, in the ruins of the farm where he was born. As the title suggests, GZIM REWIND is a story told in reverse – Gzim transforms from a tough Balkan teenager into a boy who thinks he is Scandinavian with a seemingly unbreakable spirit.
