The museum is on the grounds of the Changchun Film Studio which is known as the cradle of Chinese film, so the visitors could easily get a chance to study the history of Chinese film over those decades.

The studio has also translated and dubbed a large number of foreign movies, including many Soviet ones that came to have an immense influence on the hearts and minds of a goodly number of Chinese.

The Russians' visit was part of a larger tour of Jilin province to promote more cooperation with Russia's Far East region in the economy, culture, and tourism, and to give Northeast Chinese a better understanding of their sprawling neighbor.
