What concerns the issue of distribution in Macedonia after the Liberation: it can be viewed (or a chronological review can be made) - only with a full view on the first institutional forms of the Macedonian cinematography.

The development of the distribution went through few phases with several institutions that continually were inheriting each other in a row, until the constitution of the distributor "Macedonia Film". They were: DEPARTMENT FOR CINEMATOGRAPHY (established at 1st of February, 1945); FIDIMA (established at 3rd of June, 1945); RASFILM (established at 9th of August, 1946); FILMSKO (established at 25th of November, 1947); MAKEDONIJA (established at 30th of June, 1952). In 1968, "Macedonia Film" got its title as it is today. In 1988, the widening of the current activities of "Macedonia Film" happened. The following activities were added: renting and distribution of films and videotapes, production of films and videotapes, screening of films and videotapes, as well as re-recording of videotapes.

Since 1948 exists the Film Screening Company "City Cinemas" that started under the name of "People's Cinemas".

The Film & Videotapes Distribution Company "Manaki Film" is a private enterprise, established at 26th of November, 1992. "Manaki Film" continuingly deals with the distribution of the screening rights since the establishing, and since 1997 with video distribution also.

In 1997, the Distribution Company "Nirvana" starts with its work.
