Quo Vadis, Aida? chronicles the 1995 genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia. The film follows the fictional character Aida (Jasna Đuričić), a schoolteacher from Srebrenica who is employed by the UN as a translator during wartime. Over the course of a few days, Serbian troops invade Srebrenica, led by General Ratko Mladić. The townspeople are evacuated to a nearby UN shelter, where Aida aids the UN officials while trying to secure safety for her husband and two sons.

The screening will be introduced by Almir Koldzic and followed by a Q&A.
