Sverdlovsk Film Studio (Russian: Свердловская Киностудия) is a Russian film studio based in Yekaterinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk).[1] It is a regional studio, that was established on 9 February 1943 in the midst of World War II. In 1944 the studio produced its first film, Silva, [2] a musical comedy based on the Austrian operetta Sylva.
In 1998, Sverdlovsk Film Studio almost went bankrupt. This was resolved with help from the state, a new management team and independent producers. Between 2003 and 2008, aerial cinematography was used to create projects such as First on the Moon. Other projects were The Admiral and the theatrical film, co-produced by Sverdlovsk Film Studio, The House of the Sun.
Gratitude of the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation (August 28, 2003) — for fruitful work and in connection with the 60th anniversary.[3]
