Jasmila Žbanić’s 'I KNOW YOUR SOUL' triumphs with seven awards at Sarajevo Film Festival

The Bosnian drama I Know Your Soul, which had its world premiere last year in Venice, won in seven out of eight drama categories at this year's Sarajevo Film Festival, including Best Drama Series, Best Screenplay in a Drama Series, and Best Direction - Drama Series, as well as Best Actress in a Drama Series for Jasna Đuričić.

I Know Your Soul also took home trophies for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for Jelena Kordić Kuret for her role as Violeta, and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Mirvad Kurić for his role as Džandža in the drama. Lazar Dragojević beat the competition to win the award for Rising Star - Drama Series for his role as Jasna Đuričić's character’s son, Dino Murtezić.

The six-hour drama I Know Your Soul is directed, written, and produced by multi-awarded Jasmila Žbanić, who also served as showrunner. European Film Award-winning actress Jasna Đuričić stars as Nevena Murtezic, a prosecutor in the process of divorce and single mother to a teenage son. The case of an adolescent’s suicide triggers an avalanche of events in her professional and private life, as she finds it increasingly difficult to balance her son Dino (Lazar Dragojević) and a job that is under constant public and political pressure.

I Know Your Soul is produced by Deblokada and BH Content Lab for BH Telecom. Beta Film holds international distribution rights.
