The Yerevan State Theatre and Film Institute (YSTFI; Armenian: Երևանի թատրոնի և կինոյի պետական ինստիտուտ) is a state university and higher education institution based in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.[1][2][3][4]

The university was founded in 1944 as the Yerevan State Institute of Theatrical Arts.[5] In 1953, it was united with the State Academy of Fine Arts of Armenia and functioned as a part of the Yerevan State Institute of Art and Theater until 1994. In 1994 the Yerevan State Institute of Art and Theater was divided into the State Academy of Fine Arts and Yerevan State Institute of Theater.[6] The institute became independent and is now the Yerevan State Theatre and Film Institute.[1]
