Their animated films can be viewed on their Youtube channel and on the Gosfilmofond Youtube channel. Since ~2000, they have a different page on animator.ru: ru, en.
This animation studio, based in the city of Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, in the Ural Mountains, has been around since the early 1970s. Its director from 1976 to the present day has been Valentina Ivanovna Hizhnyakova, and since the early 1980s they have produced many award-winning films and nurtured talented directors. Originally a part of Sverdlovsk Film Studio, it gradually became more independent. From 1994 to 2000 it had no legal status (though it continued to occupy its premises and release films), in 2000 it was renamed "A-Film" and became a unitary enterprise as a daughter organization of Sverdlovsk Film Studio, and since 2002 it has been a private limited company (OOO).
From 2002 to 2019, there was also something called the "Second Production Department of the Sverdlovsk Film Studio" (Второе продюсерское управление Свердловской киностудии). They used to have a website at stranamedia.com and seem to have served as the distributor for at least one animated film, by Sergey Aynutdinov in 2002.
