For filmmakers who yearn to create their art on a perfectly well-synced canvas as vast and vibrant as their imagination, India beckons. The land isn’t just a visual aesthetic but a symphony of sight, sound and stories to be captured. Imagine your camera capturing the majestic scenic beauty that India has longed to represent across the globe. It stands as a kaleidoscope of not only landscape but a desi aesthetic offering a much warmer place to capture and feature your art exploring the cinematic world of India itself. This is where The Film Facilitation Office (FFO) stands as your guide on this cinematic odyssey.
FFO aims to beckon filmmakers worldwide to weave their magic in India. From the glimmering slopes of hills kissed by the sun to bustling cities thrumming with vibrant energy, FFO invites producers across the web to capture the soul of the nation with their cameras. Their schemes range from Film visas to incentives for
production with the motive to encourage co- production ranging across 16 different countries along with cashback that is offered to international producers in collaboration with domestic ones. The categories involving animation, VFX and documentaries ( for special permissions) can avail up to 30 crores. The benefits of co-production can be availed only with a basic documental follow-up:
• Producers first have to apply for filming permission, if gained they can then apply for Interim approval( includes the estimated costing and budget)
• once the process is out of line filmmakers can engage themselves in their movie.
• once the shoot is over, makers are to submit their final work and within a period of 90 days, if all paper works are good 90% of the cashback can be availed. The remaining 10% will be given after the completion of the process altogether.
