The principal aim of the Serbia Film Commission is to promote and develop Serbia as a cost-effective, high-quality, competitive destination for international filmmaking, and to provide information and support to international filmmakers considering using Serbia for their productions. The commission is therefore dedicated to expanding the film location and crew/business database, improving skills and services and generally fostering a film-friendly environment in the country. Our campaign materials are branded Film in Serbia.

The Film in Serbia website has been specifically created to house detailed information on production and post-production companies, studios, laboratories and equipment rental companies available in Serbia. The site also offers information on film locations, film crews and industry suppliers, facts about shooting in Serbia and updates about films made in Serbia.

Serbia Film Commission is a member of the Association of Film Commissioners International.
