Speaking about her decision to donate her possessions, Nargis said, " I feel like they will be treated better here ( BFA) than my home. Besides this will also help uphold my achievements and legacy to the world. I have already donated 35 mm and digitally produced and directed films of mine for preservation to the Bangladesh Film Archive."

"I submitted the rest of them today. I hope that through the BFA, the next generation will get to witness and learn about my work. As without preservation, a lot of valuable materials are being damaged or lost to time," she concluded.
