QUO VADIS AIDA?
Portrait
July 1995: Thousands of Bosnian civilians are fleeing the city of Srebrenica, on the run from attacking Serbian troops. Aida is an interpreter employed by the UN, which is charged with protecting the city. Alas, the situation is escalating at a terrifying pace, and, while the "blue helmets" are increasingly confronted with their own powerlessness, Aida fights with all her might to save her family from a disastrous fate. A gripping piece of work, Jasmila Žbanić's film renders palpable the chaos and desperation that dominated life in Bosnia in the days leading up the massacre in Srebrenica. QUO VADIS, AIDA? was honoured with two prizes at the 2021 European Film Awards: for Best Director and Best Female Lead (Jasna Đuričić).
