Yugoslav Film Archive

The Yugoslav Cinematheque was founded by the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia's Committee for Cinema in 1949. During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia the archives collection was under threat, however, it was successfully saved. After restoration, the new main building of the archives was officially opened in 2011 and in 2014 it was opened for the public. == Collections ==

The film collections contain over 100,000 film prints of various national productions, of all genres, silent and sound, black & white and color, both nitrate and acetate. Around 85% of the entire film collection consists of foreign film material, including some previously considered lost, which makes the archive particularly interesting for film archivists and researchers from all over the world. The Yugoslav Cinematheque saved the most important archival material and documentaries related to the territory of former Yugoslavia, starting from the oldest extant film in the country Coronation of King Peter the First from 1904 until its restoration in 1992. ==See also==
