Dara of Jasenovac (Serbian: Дара из Јасеновца, romanized: Dara iz Jasenovca) is a 2021 Serbian historical drama film directed by Predrag Antonijević. Based on the testimonies of survivors,[5] it deals with war crimes and atrocities that took place at Jasenovac concentration camp,[6] which was a part of the Holocaust and the wider genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia.
The film was set to premiere in early 2020,[5] commemorating 75 years since the escape of the remaining prisoners from the camp. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the premiere was postponed to 22 October 2020,[7][8] and then further on to early 2021. It was selected as the Serbian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards,[9] although it was not nominated. It was also eligible for Best Picture[10] but it did not make the shortlist. Dara of Jasenovac has been submitted for consideration for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama, while young actress Biljana Čekić was submitted for consideration for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.[11] It is the first Serbian production on the subject of the Jasenovac camp.
The film was met with mixed reviews from international critics. Positive reviews praised the film for dealing with a lesser-known episode of World War II that gets little to no coverage from the international public, while negative reviews pointed out its role in the Serbian government's nationalist propaganda aims.
