Directed by Jasmila Žbanić • 2020 • Bosnia and Herzegovina

Jasmila Žbanić’s Oscar-nominated account of the Srebrenica massacre during the Bosnian War is a meticulously realised vision of inhumanity and resilience. Jasna Ðuričić stars as Aida, a translator sheltering in a United Nations compound operated by Dutch peacekeepers, alongside her family and thousands of other refugees. As Serbian forces under General Ratko Mladić (Boris Isaković) descend on the town, Aida scrambles to protect her family from the horrifying reality unfolding around her. Anchored by a vivid lead performance, refusing sensationalism but shot through with righteous anger, Quo Vadis, Aida? is a vital document of one of the darkest pages in Europe’s modern history.
