In her feature documentary, “Wake Up on Mars,” Swiss-Albanian filmmakerexamines the plight of a Kosovar refugee family in Sweden whose two daughters, afflicted by resignation syndrome, lie in a catatonic state.
When she traveled to Sweden to meet the family, which also includes two sons, “it just clicked,” Gjinovci says. “It was a point in their lives when they really needed to talk to someone who knew about their culture, who knew their language, who could help them as well as decipher what was going on with their asylum process. They were very open about sharing their story with me.
Gjinovci says it was vital to remain consistent and transparent and stresses that their common language played a major role in the decision to make the film. For Gjinovci, who grew up in Switzerland, “Wake Up on Mars” marks a second work that centers on a Kosovar refugee experience. In her award-winning 2017 short “Sans le Kosovo,” she traces the path taken by her own father when he left Kosovo in the 1970s and made his way to Switzerland, during which he spent several years in refugee camps in Italy, and visits his native village in what was once Yugoslavia.
