Ena Sendijarevic’s ‘The Possessed,’ a Dark, Surrealist Exploration of a Love Triangle Set During the European Witch Hunts, Greenlit (EXCLUSIVE)


'Sweet Dreams' director Ena Sendijarevic's English-language debut 'The Possessed' has been greenlit and is set to shoot in Spain at the start of 2026.

Sendijarević’s second feature “Sweet Dreams,” which was in the main competition at Locarno, was chosen as the official Dutch submission for this year’s Academy Awards. “The Possessed,” which has secured majority production funding, is a dark, surrealist exploration of a love triangle between two women fleeing the European witch hunts and the man who becomes their captive. Meijmans, who previously worked with Sendijarević on her short film “Import” and “Take Me Somewhere Nice,” said: “This marks an exciting new chapter, and we are eager to bring this captivating project to audiences around the world.”
