Filming in Italy Is ‘More Convenient Than Ever,’ Argue Panelists at AFM: ‘We’ve Built a Ferrari With Our Tax Credit System. Now, We Need a Circuit for It to Run’


Cinecittà and APE to talk about the tax credit in Italy and filming in the country during the Focus on Italy showcase at AFM.

Potential collaborators need to know that tax credit “works great for every kind of project, from a large-scale feature film and series to a small documentary,” he notes. In a statement shared with Variety, the upcoming Focus on Italy wishes to “attract new investments in the country and give this happy moment a continuity.” During the event, the details of the reformed tax credit will be presented alongside Cinecittà’s showcase, serving to attest its “productive and technical resourcefulness, having once again become the studio where many great titles selected by major festivals are created.” The role of APE, which has supported most of non-Italian productions shot in the country, generating revenue of €315 million euros – and a “notable impact on employment considering most of the crews on the projects were almost entirely Italian” – will also be spotlighted.
