Odessa Film Studio ({{lang-uk|Одеська кіностудія художніх фільмів}}) is the first film studio established in Russian Empire (Odessa). It is partially owned by a government and supervised by the Department of State property fund of Ukraine together with the Ministry of Culture. Together with Dovzhenko Film Studios they are the only state-owned and major film producers in the country. The studio is located at Frantsuzky bulvar 33 (33 French Boulevard), Odessa, Ukraine. In a close vicinity to it is located a smaller film studio House of Mask.

History and reorganization

• It was founded on 23 May 1919 by the decision of the Odessa Governorate Executive Committee out of the remnants of cinema studios of Myron Grossman, Dmitriy Kharitonov, and Borisov. This date was the day of birth of the first in the country state film studio. At first, it was listed as "Political film section of political department and of 41st Division of the Red Army", and the first feature film filmed here was the "Spiders and flies." The original studios went into decline after the Russian Civil War and the Ukrainian War of Independence, as their owners emigrated, running from political prosecution. Grossman's film studio "Myrograph" existed in Odessa since 1907 and was the oldest one recorded in Ukraine.
• In 1922, "film sektion" was reorganized into Odessa Film Factory of All-Ukrainian Photo Cinema Administration (VUFKU). The Odessa film studio, which was VUFKU’s main production facility, underwent extensive renovations. The studio purchased its new modern equipment in the West, allowing the studio to shoot, light, and process the film stock using state-of-the-art technology. In 1926, Vyacheslav Levandovskyi and Deviatkin created an animation studio of VUFKU.
• In 1930, VUFKU was reorganized into "Ukrainafilm" of "Soyuzkino" (Union-cinema).^[1]
• In 2005, Odessa film studio was reorganized to a Close Joint Stock Company (with the government owning the majority of shares).
