Movies - Mosfilm


"Mosfilm" film studio (in Russian, Мосфи́льм) is often described as the largest and oldest in Russia and in Europe.

The Moscow film production unit with studio facilities was established in November of 1923 by the motion picture mogul Aleksandr Khanzhonkov
as a unit of the State Committee for Cinematography. Until the end of the Soviet Union, Mosfilm produced more than 3,000 films. Many film classics were shot at Mosfilm throughout its history, many of which were granted International awards at various film festivals.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Mosfilm continued operations as a quasi-private production company, led by the film director Karen Shakhnazarov. As of 2005, the company embraced ten independent studios, located within thirteen pavilions occupying the area of 13,000 sq. meters. Tours through this "Russian Hollywood" become increasingly popular, as they allow to view Mosfilm's enormous depot with 170 tanks and 50 vintage cars. The main pavilion is leased annually to hold the Golden Eagle Awards.
