In 1938, the Film Chronicle Studio moved from the basement of the "Art" cinema to the Polish church, where it remained until the 1970s. In 1964, the Irkutsk Film Chronicle Studio was renamed the East Siberian Film Chronicle Studio. The studio produced 48 newsreels "Eastern Siberia" with about 340 stories per year and 7-8 general-screen documentary films.
