Variety has been given exclusive access to the trailer for Una Gunjak’s debut feature “Excursion,” which is Bosnia and Herzegovina’s entry for the Oscars’ international feature film category. Salaud Morisset is handling international sales.
HBO Europe has just picked up the SVOD and pay TV rights to the movie in 15 countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
“Excursion” received a special mention from the Filmmakers of the Present jury of the Locarno Film Festival, and was selected to play at 30 festivals. It has been selected for the European Film Awards shortlist.
The film looks at how young people’s approach to love and intimacy is influenced by their peer group. The film centers on Iman, a teenager who is seeking validation and who claims she had sex for the first time during a game of “truth or dare” among middle schoolers.

Following her award-winning short “The Chicken,” Bosnian director Una Gunjak is back in the director’s seat with her debut feature, “Excursion.”
The film centers on Iman, a teenager who is seeking validation and who reveals she had sex for the first time during a game of “truth or dare” among middle schoolers. What ensues is a web of lies – including one involving her own pregnancy – that ends in an out-of-control controversy. The film plays in Competition at the Sarajevo Film Festival after having nabbed a Special Mention in Locarno.
The idea for “Excursion” came to Gunjak after reading an article in the local press. A few years ago, a scandal shook Bosnia after seven out of 13 school girls came home pregnant after an end of year school trip.
“The reason why it caught my attention is that it was everywhere,” she says. “What really struck me straightaway was that...
