Five Serbian films produced in the 1960s-70s will be screened at the China National Film Museum's annual international film festival from Tuesday to Sunday. 

Several films from former Yugoslavia have a number of fans in China, especially among moviegoers who grew up in the late 1970s and 1980s. These Chinese people are remembering one of the most well-known Yugoslavia films in China, The Bridge, which still holds a high mark of 8.8/10 on Chinese media review site Douban.

The upcoming screenings include director Aleksandar Petrovic's World War II movie Three (1965), the three-part anthology film Drops, Waters, Warriors (1962), and 1965's The Girl, which tells the tale of a romance between a guerrilla fighter and a village girl. 

The list also has 1996's The Return, which follows an ex-convict attempting to adapt to a world that has changed and become all new while he was in prison.
