Azerbaijanfilm was originally established in 1920 as a photo-cinema department at the Azerbaijan SSR's People's Commissariat, and was renamed to the Azerbaijani Photo-Cinema Office in 1923. It then went through several name changes, including Azdovletkino, Azkino, Azfilm, Azdovletkinosenaye, Azerfilm, and Baku Cinema Studio, before adopting its present name in 1960 as Azerbaijanfilm cinema studio in honour of Jafar Jabbarly.
