Yaltafilm

Background
Yaltafilm is a Crimean film production company based in Yalta and founded in 1917. It was initially a filming base of A. Khanzhonkov and Co. before it became its own film factory two years later when a decree signed by Vladimir Lenin nationalized Khanzhonkov. Throughout its time during the Soviet era, the company had many movies filmed here from multiple film studios includig Soyuzditfilm and Mosfilm. It wasn't until 1988 when the studio became independent and eventually produced their own movies. In 2003, the studio was purchased by the Russian company Policom-Vest OOO, which was transformed into the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Crimea after Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014. By then, Yaltafilm has fallen into disrepair and the Administration of the Republic of Crimea proposed to the Russian government about reviving the studio by bringing new filmmakers from Russia to work within the studio. In September of that year, the privatization of the film studio was cancelled.
