The Second World War is coming to an end. Heavy and protracted battles exhaust both sides. But as the Soviet forces advance more confidently, the huge invincible German tank “White Tiger” appears more frequently on the battlefields: it suddenly emerges in the smoke of battles, ruthlessly shooting down enemies, and unexpectedly disappears. The Soviet command decides to create a special tank, the T-34-85 model, to combat the “White Tiger”.
100 Years of Mosfilm

Across hundreds of kilometers of film, it encapsulates the dreams and disappointments of a great era, the feats of its people, and the destiny of individuals.
The foundation of Mosfilm traces back to the First and Third film factories of Goskino, established in 1919. Over the initial years, the studio underwent multiple reorganizations and renamings until January 1936, when it acquired the name “Mosfilm Studio”.
Nearly 2000 feature films have been created here, shaping the cinematic tastes of generations. Over the years, the studio has hosted remarkable directors, whose works are enshrined in the Golden Fund of Russian and world cinema.
