The Wolves Come at Night

THE WOLVES COME AT NIGHT confronts the silenced horrors of sexual violence during the Kosovo War. At its centre is Agim, a man who survived rape by Serbian forces. Through a recorded interview and written testimonies, he guides us through the violence he endured, violence that doesn’t stay buried, but lingers in the body and resurfaces in fragments. Memory, here, is not linear. It flickers through shadow, silence, and the jagged sound of breath.

Set against the unforgiving mountains where much of the violence took place, the film weaves together body, land, and memory. The body does not forget. The wolf does not forget. The mountain remembers everything.

The film bears witness to what has been forced into silence, creating space for male survivors to be seen, heard, and remembered. The soundscape, crafted from field recordings captured in the mountains, grounds the film in the very terrain that holds these buried traumas, echoing the persistence of memory in the land itself.
