Amsterdam-based Bosnian filmmaker Ena Sendijarević made a splash at the 2019 International Film Festival Rotterdam with her debut feature Take Me Somewhere Nice, a seductive drama of homecoming and sexual awakening, and with her follow-up, a surprising, slashing satire of colonial mores set in an Indonesian island in the waning years of Dutch colonialism, established herself as a young filmmaker who could be counted on for consistent verve and daring. We’ll be screening both of Sendijarević’s features to date, and also two films that provided inspiration for her work, Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now: Final Cut and Juraj Herz’s The Cremator.
