The documentary film "My Personal Dragon" directed by Mila Kudryashova was shown at the National Museum of Serbia in Belgrade. The film was shot with the grant support of the Russian Geographical Society and provided by the RGS Center in Serbia. The event was held as part of the 24th International Archaeology Film Festival.

The film tells about tireless adventurers, researchers from Yakutia, St. Petersburg, and Germany, who decided to study the traces and remains of mysterious "Arctic dinosaurs": "Yakut dragons", the legends of whose existence are kept by local residents. The audience was able to see the unique beauty of the Russian North, the difficult and fascinating work of paleontologists, and learn real stories from the lives of people who make discoveries not only in science but also within themselves.

In addition to the film of the Russian Geographical Society, which was screened on May 30, the festival participants were presented with documentaries from Japan, Italy, Spain, Iran, Greece, Switzerland, and Serbia.

The International Archaeology Film Festival has been held by the National Museum of Serbia since 1998. It presents new films in the field of archaeology and related disciplines to a wide audience. The program of the archaeological film week includes educational films telling about historical discoveries and achievements of different civilizations. The festival traditionally attracts the attention of not only specialists but also everyone who is interested in science.

The RGS Center in Serbia has traditionally participated in the film festival since 2018. The films are translated into Serbian and arouse great interest in society.
