Cinema of Belarus
The Cinema of Belarus began on 17 December 1924 with the creation by decree of what later became Belarusfilm studio. The studio was moved to Minsk in 1939. Film production was interrupted by World War II, and restarted in 1946, when the studio assumed its current name.
Most of the output has been in Russian rather than Belarusian.
Belarusfilm is also a co-organizer of the Listapad film festival held in Minsk, Belarus in November.Film studios
