Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020) Quo Vadis, Aida? has a hair-raising way of stopping the flow of events and then resuming. In between scenes as terrifying as a horror movie, writer-director Jasmila Zbanic pauses to capture the infinitesimal moments that represent life, beauty and normalcy – a look exchanged between a young man and a woman, shared cigarettes, a couple making out, clothes being washed. The setting makes these fleeting moments of grace all the more precious. The movie explores the Srebrenica massacre that took place during the Bosnian War in 1995. Serbian forces overran the town, supposedly a safe zone under the protection of the United Nations, and slaughtered thousands of men and boys. In the movie, a few thousand of the Srebrenica’s Bosnian Muslims manage to find shelter in a UN base, while a vastly bigger crowd waits outside, hoping against hope.
