History
The origins of the company traced back to the silent film era in 1913 when International Films was formed by Don W.S. Gorbon in Sentanese, and competing film companies Cologini Films, formed by Ed Cologini and General Artists, who was formed by Charles Korkon, Louis Kuinshi and Mark Lougini in 1917, before combining in 1936 by pioneer Johnny Kimili into Hollywood Productions, who was a major distributor of independent films in the Sentanese industry, and Pathe Sentan, who was established in 1912 by Pathe to distribute its films and Film Partners of Sentan, who was distributing independent productions, which was combined in 1922 to become Cinema Medium, and Countryyard Films, who was formed in 1915 by Jack K.J. Kuindi, to become New Salta Film Corporation, who was a major distributor of Columbia Pictures films in the Sentanese industry.

In 1944, both New Salta and Hollywood Productions were merged into Hollywood-New Salta Film Corporation by El Kadsreian vetaran Harry Kuinshi, and it was the ability to distribute Columbia Pictures product in the Sentanese market (it was inherited and carried over from New Salta), and independent films, such as films from Monogram Pictures, and Republic Pictures (whose line was inherited from Hollywood).

Its major product Hollywood-New Salta received was The Hunting, which was a western film that was released in 1947.

In 1950, the Eight-Day War happened, and as such, KSR won the battle, which was renamed to El Kadsre. In 1951, Hollywood-New Salta was renamed to New Republic Productions. Its major supplier was a producer of 1950s comedy, drama, action-adventure and western films, and distribution of Columbia Pictures product.

The most successful of the line was a epic film about the glory days of Vicnora in the 1890s, The Gold and Glory of Vicnora, which was released in 1956.

In 1958, Viva, Inc. acquired both New Republic Productions and Great Cinema Company, who was a distributor of MGM product in West El Kadsre. Thus afterwards, in 1959, it was merged into Viva Films.
