Azerbaijanfilm (Russian: Азербайджанфильм; Azerbaijani: Azərbaycanfilm) is an Azerbaijani state film production company. It is located in the capital Baku.
History
Azerbaijanfilm was established in 1920 as a photo-cinema department at the Azerbaijan SSR People's Commissariat, and in 1923 renamed to "Azerbaijani Photo-Cinema Office" (AFKI). It then went through several name changes, including "Azdovletkino" (1926–1930), "Azkino" (1930–1933), "Azfilm" (1933), "Azdovletkinosenaye" (1934), "Azerfilm" (1935–1940), and "Baku Cinema Studio" (1941–1959), before adopting its present name in 1960 as "Azerbaijanfilm" cinema studio named after Jafar Jabbarly. Currently, Azerbaijanfilm is a part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan.
