In March 1951, with the approval of the Culture and Education Commission and the Central Military Commission of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, the Military Education Film Studio of the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission was launched to provide the People's Liberation Army with its own documentary film production facilities following the best practices in the world.

On August 1, 1952, PLA Day, the studio was officially opened and named the People's Liberation Army Film Studio (Шаблон:Zh) in honour of the PLA's silver jubilee.
