number of cinematic masterpieces.
The film studio was established in 1920 as a photo-cinema
department at the Azerbaijani SSR People's Commissariat, and in
1923 was renamed after the Azerbaijani Photo-Cinema Office
(AFKI).
Throughout the time, the film studio went through several name
changes, including Azdovlatkino (1926-1930), Azkino (1930-1933),
Azfilm (1933), Azdovlatkinosanaye (1934), Azarfilm (1935-1940), and
Baku Cinema Studio (1941-1959), before adopting its present name in
1960.
In 2023, AzerbaijanFilm studio turns 100 years. The film studio
plans to hold various events throughout the year as part of the
celebration.
A detailed discussion of the action plan for 2022-2023 has been
discussed with the relevant film structures and filmmakers.
