The movie director, Jasmila Žbanić from BiH, won the award for best director, and Serbian actress Jasna Đuričić is this year’s best European actress. Žbanić dedicated the film to all the women and mothers of Srebrenica and the murdered sons, husbands, and fathers. She said women had found a way to create peace in a devastated country. “Women must always clean up the chaos that men leave behind,” said the director. “Quo Vadis, Aida?” deals with the massacre of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995 during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serb forces committed the killings, which the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia defined as genocide. The question is ‘Where are you going, people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and what kind of future awaits young people in all parts of the country?’ This must be the main concern of politicians instead of empty talk, ” High Representative Christian Schmidt said in his greeting to Žbanić. ‘No man’s land’, another BiH movie directed by Danis Tanović dealing with the role of the UN peacekeeping forces during the war in the BiH, won an Oscar in 2001.
