Poland’s Madants, Sweden’s Plattform Produktion, U.K.’s Good Chaos Board Jasmila Žbanić’s Buzzy ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?’ Sequel (EXCLUSIVE)
A host of Europe's top indie production labels have boarded the buzzy sequel to Jasmila Zbanic's Oscar-nominated 'Quo Vadis, Aida?'
Bosnian filmmaker Jasmila Žbanić is partnering with some of Europe’s hottest indie production labels for the sequel to her Academy Award-nominated “Quo Vadis, Aida?,” which the director is pitching May 18 at the Cannes Investors Circle. The previous film, which competed for best international feature at the 2021 Oscars, followed a Bosnian UN translator, Aida (Jasna Đuričić), torn between family and duty in Srebrenica, where more than 8,000 civilians — mostly Muslim men and boys — were slaughtered in the worst act of mass killing on European soil since World War II. Joining with other women who organize protests and conduct their own private investigations in search of truth and justice, they overcome corruption, political inertia and other obstacles while recognizing that the peace process is “harder than the war itself,” according to Žbanić.
