Jasmila Zbanic’s Upcoming Sequel: Quo Vadis, Aida? — The Missing Part

Acclaimed director Jasmila Zbanic is set to create a sequel to her Oscar-nominated film Quo Vadis, Aida?, which poignantly addresses the tragic Srebrenica massacre. This new installment will delve into the aftermath of the genocidal events that unfolded in Bosnia in 1995.

A Focus on Resilience and Justice

Quo Vadis, Aida? — The Missing Part will follow the harrowing journey of the women left behind after the Bosnian Serb forces, led by commander Ratko Mladic, brutally murdered over 7,000 civilians, predominantly men and boys, in one of the most horrific episodes of the Bosnian War. Jasna Djuricic will reprise her role as Aida, a local translator for the UN peacekeeping forces, who desperately attempted to save her husband and sons from the massacre. Now, she is at the forefront of the fight to uncover the truth behind these atrocities and seek justice for the victims.

A Film with Accolades

The original Quo Vadis, Aida? premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2020, garnering two BAFTA nominations and winning the best film award at the European Film Awards. It also received an Academy Award nomination for best international feature. The sequel will be produced by Damir Ibrahimovic of Bosnian company Deblokada, in collaboration with Erik Hemmendorff from Sweden’s Plattform Produktion and Film i Väst, a Swedish film financier.
