Bosnia and Herzegovina/Austria/Romania/Germany/Netherlands/Poland/France/Norway/Turkey | 2020 | Jasmila Žbanić

One of the five nominees for the 2021 Academy Award for Best Int’l Feature Film (and a strong candidate to win), this gripping, lavishly praised Bosnian War drama follows a Bosnian woman working as a United Nations translator as she tries to protect her family from Serbian soldiers who have entered the town of Srebrenica (a UN “Safe Area”) in July of 1995. “Re-creates history in the present tense, with a gut-clutching immediacy that Žbanić makes bearable through sheer formal restraint.” –L.A. Times. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 101 min.
