Discover Latvia for filmmaking
Latvia has a lot to offer to foreign directors interested in pursuing film projects in the country. Some of the things that Latvia can offer include:
- A rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes that can serve as an interesting backdrop for film projects. Have a look at the location tour that was held in Latvia during Magnetic Latvia Film conference
- A skilled and experienced film industry workforce that can support the production of high-quality films
- Generous film production incentives, including cash rebates and tax breaks, which can help to offset the costs of filming in Latvia
- A central location in Europe that makes it easy to access other major film production hubs in the region
- Modern facilities and equipment, including sound stages and post-production studios, that are suitable for a wide range of film projects
These are just a few examples of the many film projects that have been filmed in Latvia:
