As a legal successor of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian cinematography (Bosna film, Sutjeska film, Studio film) Film Centre Sarajevo takes care of preserving film heritage through archiving, restoration and digitalisation of archive materials. In the Film Centre Sarajevo catalogue there are more than 70 feature fiction films, over 600 documentary and short films and thousands of metres of film materials that witness of the wealth of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian film, and of turbulent history of the country in the period between 1945 and 1992.

The FCS is carrying out an activity titled 'Preserve the film treasure of BH' in order to draw attention to the importance of preservation and digitalisation of the film materials. Through a series of public events and film screenings the Centre is carrying out this activity, and the Mediterranean Film Festival joins it with the screening of 8 films from the Sarajevo Film Centre catalogue.These are the masterpieces of BH cinematography, which were both the audience’s and the jury’s favourite at festivals all over the world at the time.
