Feature Film Production

Here is how this works in practice. We give full production services for feature films across Austria, from development support and prep through principal photography and wrap. Our team assembles skilled department heads and crews, manages location scouting and securing, and handles the permits, road closures and authority liaison that feature shooting needs across cities, heritage sites and alpine terrain.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We set up lodging, transport, base camps and gear logistics for shoots of any scale, work with German- and English-speaking crews for both Austrian and global films, and advise on the ÖFI+ and FISA+ 30% rebates, Filmfonds Wien support and Cinestyria's regional funding.

Productions are scoped around the 20% VAT, giving global filmmakers a clear, competitive cost base.

Here is how the picture comes together. Austria's cinematic legacy gives feature shoots both prestige and tested infrastructure. Vienna's imperial build style stood in for global shoots in 'The Third Man' and 'Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation', Salzburg stays forever linked to 'The Sound of Music', and the Ötztal around Sölden featured in James Bond's 'Spectre'.

Here is what we have to work with. Austrian filmmaking sits at the highest level. Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or twice and an Oscar for 'Amour', Stefan Ruzowitzky won the Foreign Language Oscar for 'The Counterfeiters', and directors such as Götz Spielmann and Jessica Hausner have earned global recognition.

With festivals including the Viennale and the Diagonale in Graz, the Austrian Film Award honouring the industry, and skilled crews across each department, Austria is a strong base for feature production.
