Uzbekfilm (Uzbek: Oʻzbekfilm, Ўзбекфильм; Russian: Узбекфильм) is the largest and oldest film studio in Uzbekistan. It was established on July 1, 1925.[1]
The company was initially called Sharq Yulduzi (Eastern Star). In 1936 it was renamed to Uzbekfilm. During the Soviet-German war against Nazi Germany and its allies the company was called Tashkent Film Studio. In 1958 it was renamed back to Uzbekfilm.
Since its founding Uzbekfilm has produced about 400 feature films and 100 animated films.[2] Some of the most popular films produced by Uzbekfilm include Maftuningman (1958) and Mahallada duv-duv gap (1960).
