Tajikfilm (Tajik: Тоҷикфилм, Russian: Таджикфильм) is a Tajik (former Soviet) film studio.[1] Tajikfilm was founded in 1930 as a newsreel studio;[2] the studio released its first feature film in 1932 and its first talkie in 1935. In 1941, Tajikfilm merged with Soyuzdetfilm, only to reemerge in 1943. The studio produced films in both Russian and Tajik.[3]
The studio is based in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
Since 1993, not a single film has been shot at the film studio due to lack of funding. The film studio staff survived on small international orders for video films and videos. In 2005, "Tajikfilm" began filming a large-scale epic "Shamsiddin Shohin" - about the life of a Tajik classic.[4]
