Catalonia as a Filming Destination: The Role of the Catalunya Film Commission

Catalonia is a land of contrasts and richness—mountains and coastline, medieval towns and vibrant cities, modern architecture and untouched nature. These diverse settings have attracted filmmakers for decades, and the Catalunya Film Commission (CFC) is the driving force behind many successful productions in the region.

What Is the Catalunya Film Commission?

The CFC is a government-supported entity that promotes Catalonia as a top-tier destination for audiovisual production. Its mission is to provide all the tools necessary for filmmakers to realize their vision without unnecessary obstacles.

The Commission’s services include:

• Promotion: Marketing Catalonia internationally as a versatile and attractive filming region.
• Location Databases: Detailed information and visual resources on a wide range of locations across Catalonia, including natural parks, historic villages, urban centers, and industrial sites.
• Industry Networking: Connecting productions with local professionals such as producers, technicians, set designers, and accommodation providers.

Why Choose Catalonia for Filming?

Catalonia’s geographical and cultural variety allows productions to find virtually any setting imaginable—from the wild beauty of the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean beaches, from rustic farmhouses to sleek, modern cityscapes. Additionally, the region offers competitive tax incentives and a strong audiovisual infrastructure.

The CFC’s involvement ensures that productions can capitalize on these advantages with minimal bureaucracy and maximum local support.
