Certainly a project that will be pitched for pre-sales on the Croisette in a couple of months from now, Cineuropa reports that Aida Begic, who is technically far 3 for 4 at the Cannes film festival with 2008’s Snow being followed by Children of Sarajevo (12) and her contribution to omnibus Bridges of Sarajevo (2014), will display Bosnia and Herzegovina with the post-apocalyptic romance genre. A Ballad will be co-produced by the Begic, Film House Sarajevo and Les Films de l’Après-midi (The Strange Case of Angelica prod co. produced most of her films).
Gist: Written by Begic, this is being described as a post-apocalyptic Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Worth Noting: The filmmaker won the Special Jury Prize in the UCR section in 2012.
Do We Care?: Potentially retuning back to the poeticism found in her well-travelled film festival gem Snow, we can tag this romance at the breaking point of humanity as an early Cannes 2016 possibility.
