The Calabria Film Commission Foundation promotes and supports the national and international incoming of audiovisual productions to the regional territory through the disbursement of financial contributions and the adoption of various support and facilitation measures.

Financial contributions

The economic contributions, in accordance with the provisions of Article 54, paragraph 3 of Reg. 651/2014, are granted, following a public procedure, in the form of a capital contribution, on the basis of a ranking assessment procedure. Grant applications may relate to the production of feature films, television series, fiction, documentaries, short films and video clips, on the basis of the provisions of each individual public notice.

Beneficiaries must incur expenditure on the territory of the Region Calabria amounting to at least 160% of the aid granted.

The employment of workers and artists resident in Calabria, in line with the support and consolidation policies adopted by the Foundation in relation to the regional audiovisual sector, constitutes a bonus.

Enhancing the landscape and regional identity is a bonus.
