Sverdlovsk Film Studio is a Russian film studio based in Yekaterinburg. It is a major regional and youngest studio in Russia, that was established on 9 February 1943 in the midst of World War II. A year later, in 1944 the studio has produced its first film Silva – a musical comedy, based on the Austrian operetta Sylva. This was one of the most popular releases in the Soviet Union that year.
At this studio, situated in the heart of Russia, were shot more than 210 theatrical films and 600 nonfiction films, hundreds of Popular Science films, more than 100 animations and over 4500 newsreels.

United actions of the state, new management team and independent producers during the period 2003-2008 confirmed the competence of Ural cinematograph to create successful projects.
