AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Kosovar filmmaker Blerta Basholli’s film “Dua” has been screened at the Sarajevo Film Festival after premiering at Cannes’ Critics’ Week in May. This follows her 2021 success with her debut film, “Hive,” which won three awards at the Sundance Film Festival.

Basholli’s “Hive” earned the Grand Jury Prize, the Directing Award, and the Audience Award in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. Her second feature, “Dua,” premiered in May at Cannes’ Critics’ Week. This week, the film was screened at the Sarajevo Film Festival.

According to Basholli, the themes explored in her films resonate universally. She stated, “Teenagers growing up in conflict zones are no different from any of us.” This suggests a core motivation behind her work: to highlight the shared human experience even amidst difficult circumstances.
