Azerbaijanfilm

Azerbaijanfilm (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycanfilm) is an Azerbaijani state-owned film production company. It is one of the oldest film studios in Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijanfilm was originally established in 1920 as a photo-cinema department at the Azerbaijan SSR's People's Commissariat, and was renamed to the Azerbaijani Photo-Cinema Office (AFKI) in 1923. 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 in honour of Jafar Jabbarly. Currently, Azerbaijanfilm is a part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan, and is located in the capital Baku.
