Историческая справка

At the end of the 19th century the territory on Kamennoostrovsky prospekt, which is currently known as Lenfilm Motion Picture Studio, belonged to merchant Georgy Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov. The Aquarium Garden (Sad Akvarium) was located here — in place of vegetable gardens which covered Petrograd Side back in those days. It was the place for holding different exhibitions, music events, performances of orchestras and choirs, and even the aerostat of the Technical Society got off the ground here. In 1891 an eponymous chamber theatre (the Aquarium) which hosted many celebrities was opened here. Fyodor Shalyapin, Leonid Utyosov, Maeterlinck’s Company, Ludwig Barnay, opera diva Lina Cavalieri, as well as many others, performed there. The first cinema show in Russia also took place at the Aquarium in 1896.
In 1922 the theatre was rebuilt into a film studio atelier for which different cinematographic cameras and film reels were ordered abroad. Cinematograph worked at house number 10 on ulitsa Krasnykh Zor until 1925, and shortly after that the Sovkino film studio, which was the predecessor of Lenfilm, moved there.
The motion picture studio received its name Lenfilm in 1934. Over the entire history it released over fifteen hundred films, many of which have become legends of the world motion picture industry. Chelovek-Amfibiya (The Amphibious Man), Zolushka (Cinderella), Starik Hottabych (Old Man Hottabych), Chapaev, Dikaya Sobaka Dingo (The Wild Dog Dingo) and many other motion pictures created by Lenfilm’s directors have become ingrained in our life.
