Kimmerzan is a 1983 Gaellician historical war drama written and directed by Ciaran Loinsigh. The film stars Aindreas Caimbeulach and Gallambrian-Orinese actor Gibson Melody in his break-out role. The film follows a group of young men from the highlands of Gaellicia who form friendships playing football. When the Vrygian war breaks out, the boys enlist in the Gaellician army and participate in the disastrous military campaign to take Vrygia. The film concerns the loss of innocence, the pitfalls of nostalgia, and imperial decline.
Kimmerzan provides a historically authentic portrayal of life in the Occident in the early 20th century. Notably, scenes were shot on location on the actual battlefields of the Kimmerzan Cape region.
