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. Thematically, the film illustrates imperial decline, the loss of innocence, and the pitfalls of nostalgia.
Kimmerzan provides a historically authentic portrayal of everyday life in the Occident in the early 20th century. Notably, scenes were shot on location on the actual battlefields of the Kimmerzan Cape region. During the Navarkokrateia period it was difficult for foreign films to receive permission to film in Tagmatium.
