Barcelona Plató Film Commission Barcelona film production companies

Barcelona Film Commission - the first step to shooting in the city. In 2004, 402 productions of the 900 or so shoots that took place in Barcelona sought the assistance of the city’s Film Commission; an outstanding number compared to the 118 that were helped in 2000.
Thanks to better coordination and cooperation with other city council departments involved in the authorisations for the shoots, Barcelona Plató Film Commission has increased its activity by 240%, since it started its activity at full efficiency in 2000. In 2004, 35 films were assisted by the Film Commission, as well as 51 documentaries, 100 TV and Video programms, and an outstanding 126 shortfilms, the genre with the highest increase.

Such results confirm not only that the city keeps up with its appeal as a set, but also that the city council structure is strengthening its ability to coordinate the non-commercial filming activity in Barcelona, through the Institut de Cultura (ICUB).
