Continuous co-productions and partnership with foreign companies started strongly in early 60 s. After filming Orson Welles «The Trial», and several films for Dino de Laurentis, we also filmed with partners from France, Germany and Italy, and extended our partnership with US companies filming famous film slike «Isidora Duncan» and «Fiddler on the Roof».

We succeeded in having foreign partners join our domestic projects, like «Isidora Duncan» and «Fiddler on the Roof». We succeeded in having foreign partners join our domestic projects, like «The Assassination in Sarajevo» with Franco Nero, and more others.
