Riga Film Studio (Latvian: Rīgas kinostudija, Russian: (historical)Рижская киностудия) is a Latvian film production company based in Riga and founded in 1940 on the basis of the earlier private film companies. In 1948, the Riga Documentary Film Studio was founded.
In 1970-80, the company produced 10-15 films a year, providing work for 1000 employees.
