FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA
director “Youth without Youth”
“I wanted to shoot here [in Romania] because I wanted
to make it the way my younger self would have made it
have I not been ‘side-tracked’ by Hollywood.”
Anthony Minghella
director “Cold Mountain”
“It is a truly unspoiled landscape, where it is possible
to go and create a world – particularly a period world
– where you can rotate a camera for 360° and not
have any impediment whatsoever to the world you are
creating. There was a very great willingness to go on an
adventure with us and I would certainly recommend
Romania to anybody contemplating a movie there.”

Mick Davis
director “Modigliani”
“The potential is here [for Bucharest] to be another
Prague.”
FRANCO ZEFFIRELLI
director “Callas Forever”
“I have found here the excitement and the positive attitude that other big European studios have lost.”
Costa-Gavras
director “Amen”
“…Friendly environment and professional people.”
Michael Grade
executive chairman, Pinewood Shepperton Studios
“Labor costs are much lower, their construction costs
are much lower…”
BUTCH KAPLAN

“There is a go-for-it attitude in Romania which is just a
phenomenon; the locals accommodate other cultures
effortlessly. I came from Los Angeles and to find this
atmosphere in Eastern Europe is truly amazing.”

producer “Dracula Resurrection”
and “Prophecy: Forsaken”
“Visually it’s a country that has a great deal of variety of
landscape: city, village and probably – most importantly,
very importantly – history. You can film all sorts of historical periods, and the ability to build here is phenomenal.
The sets that we have, the price of those sets I don’t
know where else in the world you could do that. And the
technical skill, and the artistry, is top notch.”
BRAD KREVOY
producer “Second in Command”
and “The Hard Corps”
“Filming in Romania was an incredibly rewarding
experience. The technicians and craftspeople were
all top-notch, and the production value exceeded my
highest expectations.”
GREGG HOFFMAN
producer “Catacombs”
“The key reason we brought our business to Romania was
construction costs. We were able to build sets on a scale
that I couldn’t have imagined for the budget we had.”

their experience with the increasing volume of international productions shot in Romania. Many are on the

Major foreign Productions
Shot in Romania
Central European countries, with their low costs, beautiful locations, and skilled
workforce, have attracted many Hollywood moviemakers over the past decade. But the
film industry appears to be looking even further east to countries like Romania, where
the same benefits can be had for even less.
Known to the Western film industry more as
the birthplace of the vampire Count Dracula,
Romania has rapidly gained a new reputation as a
desirable location for foreign filmmakers. During
the last few years, many important productions
were shot here, among them:

Romanian Law
Romanian Law
The Romanian National Film Center (CNC), which manages the Cinema Fund under the
coordination of the Ministry of Culture, is the only Romanian institution which offers
reimbursable loans to productions involving Romanian participation, as well as nonreimbursable loans in certain cases.
Any registered production company (or individual
investor) involved in film productions can apply. The
Romanian National Film Center grants direct supports
to natural and legal persons who are authorized and
registered in the Registry of Cinematography.
Broadcasters, distributors and promotion agencies
can also apply for the fund regarding film distributions,
exploitation and exhibition. When Romanian films
or co-productions with Romanian participation are
involved, a non-reimbursable financial support may be
granted for distributing and exploiting films abroad.
Film production
Direct support is granted by the National Cinema
Center to:
↘ Films production of all kinds: fiction films, documentary films, animation films;
↘ Film projects development;
Direct support for project production and development may be requested by authorized natural
and legal persons who won a selection session

↘ they are registered in the Registry of Cinematography.
↘ they have a share capital of at least 5000 EUR
(approx.) if they are legal persons, respectively a

are the natural persons;
↘ they provide a minimum contribution of 6% of
the film production entire budget, paid in cash, in
services, or in kind;
↘ in the case of cinematographic co-productions,
the personal contribution of minimum 6% accounts
for the Romanian party participation;
↘ they have obtained, in keeping with this ordinance, a written agreement from the author/authors
of the script to produce the film, as well as the right
to exploit the produced film;

Romanian Law
↘ Co-producers are Romanian natural and legal
persons, identified as such and registered in the
Registry of Cinematography;
↘ Romanian co-producers participated and won a
selection session, in keeping with this ordinance;
↘ Romanian co-producers cannot participate with
less than 10% of the film production budget, for
multilateral co-productions and with less than
20% of the film production budget for bilateral coproductions, in keeping with the provisions foreseen
in the regulations.
↘ co-producers, based on a co-production contract,

have the exploitation right of the film within Romania;
↘ Co-producers take responsibility to mention, on
the film support lines and in all advertising materials
that the film was made with the financial support of
the National Cinema Center.
Direct support for international co-productions

or low-budget films.
Everybody in our Family (2012, director Radu Jude)
Taxes and incentives
Companies directly involved in the cinematographic
films production, distribution and exhibition, registered
as such in the Register of Cinematography, benefit by
exemption from payment of custom duties for imports
of cinematographic equipment, film, processing substances and other goods used in the cinematographic
industry, not produced in Romania.
Even though a tax incentive system is not yet in
place, production costs in Romania offer an attractive alternative. For example, major productions have
included Miramax’s $80m COLD MOUNTAIN, which
apparently saved itself $20m in production costs, as a
result of being shot in Romania.

reimbursable grants for the production of Romanian
films or films made with Romanian backing. In particular, the Commission judged that the cultural criteria
defined by the Romanian authorities would direct
the funding towards cultural products. Moreover, the
measure allows producers to spend up to 20% of
the film’s budget within the European Economic Area
(EEA), not just in Romania. The Romanian authorities
plan to apply this scheme until December 31, 2014.

ROMANIAN CINEMA
AFTER 1989, local film production diminished
abruptly, though some Romanian films were being honoured in important film festivals: TERMINUS PARADIS
by Lucian Pintilie, Special Jury Award in Venice, 1998;
CIGARETTES AND COFFEE by Cristi Puiu, Golden Bear
for Best Short Film in Berlin, 2004; TRAFFIC by Cătălin
Mitulescu, Golden Palm for Best Short film in Cannes,
2004; THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU by Cristi Puiu,
Un Certain Regard Prize in Cannes, 2005; 12:08 EAST
OF BUCHAREST by Corneliu Porumboiu, Camera d’Or
2006; CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ (ENDLESS) by Cristian
Nemescu, Un Certain Regard in 2007; 4 MONTHS, 3
WEEKS AND 2 DAYS by Cristian Mungiu, Palme d’Or in
2007; MEGATRON by Marian Crişan, Palme d’Or, short
film, 2008; IF I WANT TO WHISTLE, I WHISTLE, by Florin
Șerban, Silver Bear in Berlin, 2010.
BETWEEN 2003 AND 2013, The Romanian National Film Centre (CNC) supported more than 100
feature films and several short films. In 2008 Bogdan
Mustață’s, A GOOD DAY FOR A SWIM won the Golden
Bear in Berlin and in February 2009, the debut film
of Peter Strickland, KATALIN VARGA, a Romanian
Coproduction, was awarded with a Silver Bear at the
Berlinale. 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS by Cristian
Mungiu won the Palme d’Or in the official competition
of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival; CALIFORNIA DREAMING (ENDLESS), by late Cristian Nemescu, won the
Un Certain Regard prize the same year. Going back in
time, in 2006, 12:08 EAST OF BUCHAREST by Corneliu
Porumboiu won the Camera d’Or (Cannes), while LOVE
SICK, Tudor Giurgiu’s debut film, was selected in the
Panorama section at the Berlin Film Festival 2006.
In 2012 EVERYBODY IN OUR FAMILY directed by
Radu Jude was screened in Forum - Berlin International
Film Festival and BEYOND THE HILLS directed by Cristian Mungiu was selected in the Official Competition
in Cannes where it was awarded with Best Actress and
Best Screenplay. In 2013, Călin Peter Netzer’s CHILD’S
POSE was awarded with the Fipresci Prize and Golden
Bear at Berlin International Film Festival.
