The All-Union State Institute of Cinematography was founded in 1919 as the State School of Cinematography. It became a technicum in 1925 and was raised to the status of State Institute of Cinematography in 1930. The institute was given its present name in 1934. As of 1972, the institute had departments of production and composition (with actors’ and directors’ sections), camera work, screenwriting and film history and criticism, art (animation and set design), and economics. It also offers correspondence and graduate programs.
