The 21st Nitrate Film Festival is held in Belgrade from 6 to 16 June, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Yugoslav Film Archive. In May last year, the Legacy of Milena Dravić and Dragan Nikolić was opened within the Yugoslav Film Archive, with the great actress Milena Dravić speaking at the ceremony, expressing her regret about her first Golden Arena missing from the Legacy. She received her first Golden Arena for the film Superfluous (1962), directed by Branko Bauer. The story about a thief taking the award from her apartment in the early 1970s is well-known, as is the fact that more than 20 yeas later, the thief approached her, admitted to the theft and asked for her forgiveness. At the initiative of an anonymous admirer and the President of the Serbian National Minority Council of the Istrian County Milan Rašula the process of making a replica of the award was started. With the approval of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, the director of Pula Film Festival Gordana Restović presented the award to the Legacy.
Jugoslav Pantelić, director of the Yugoslav Film Archive, spoke about the acting diva in his introductory note at the event attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia Gordan Bakota and the director and selector of Nitrate Film Festival Saša Erdeljanović.
