Avala film studios / April, 2015. 

Avala Film, the largest film studio in Yugoslavia, was sold on auction sale held in April 2015. Despite numerous attempts, Serbian film public failed to lobby the Government of Serbia to stipulate that Avala film’s buyer must be required to continue the film industry. Film catalog of Avala Film (1947-1992) was also included in this sale, with more than 200 feature films and 400 documentaries, winners of the festivals in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. Bearing in mind that Avala Film produced almost half of the Yugoslav films, this sale means that a significant part of our film heritage will fall into hands of private collectors. These photographs were taken just a few days before the sale.
