Although the first film recording was entered in the records of the Audiovisual Collections of the Ethnographic Museum back in 1934, the Film Archive was established based on the reorganization of the Audiovisual Collections from 2015 to 2020 by re-inventorying the materials from the Slides Archive and the so-called "Video Library". It includes about five hundred recordings on various media: from 8, 16 and 35mm film, through VHS and DV to modern digital formats. The most significant material are anthological short ethnographic films made in the first half of the 20th century, such as Gavazzi's films Zvončari, Pletenje jalbe, Pogreb na saonicama ljeti and Seljačke svadbe iz Markuševca. Thanks to the digitization of the oldest films, the Ethnographic Museum presented some of these digitally restored films as part of the prestigious Micro Folies project, organized by Paris' La Villette.
