The awards ceremony was hosted by German actor Annabelle Mandeng. The hybrid event saw nominees, presenters, and winners participating in a mixture of live, virtual, and pre-recorded formats.
“Quo Vadis, Aida” tells the story of the Srebrenica genocide, during which Serbian troops sent 8,372 Bosniak men and boys to their deaths in July 1995. The powerful story is told through the eyes of Aida, a UN translator attempting to leverage her position to secure safety for her husband and two grown sons. The film was chosen as Bosnia’s official entry to the Academy Awards last year, but did not land a nomination.
