‘Bruges was very much one of the main characters in Martin McDonagh’s film, so it was essential to us to be able to have full access to the city for the entire shoot. From our first approach it was clear that the City Film Office was able to offer unprecedented access and coordinate all the needs of the production.’ Graham Broadbent, Blueprint Pictures, producer of In Bruges

AND THERE’S SO MUCH MORE! We do hope that the variety of locations presented in this book will encourage you to consider Flanders as the setting for your future audiovisual creations. This first edition of the Location Flanders Look Book will give you a glimpse of what we’ve got on offer, but there’s so much more. And not just in terms of locations. We offer incentives. In addition to Belgium’s federal Tax Shelter – the most user-friendly and cost-effective system around – there are also regional incentives that really put the icing on the cake. We’ve got highly qualified technicians. Our technical crew members are among the best qualified in Europe and beyond. Our audiovisual facility companies deliver the highest quality at very competitive rates. We speak your language. You won’t find a region or country where people speak more languages, including English, French and Dutch, and in some cases even German, Spanish or Italian, and many more. We’re located in the very centre of Europe. We’re just a stone’s throw from other key European cities such as London, Paris, Berlin or Amsterdam. Flanders is very compact, which means that all the locations you require are within easy reach. We do have the experience. Flanders has accommodated many international productions, and we are ready to assist you on your future projects. So have a look at the Location Flanders website where you will find everything you need, such as up-to-date information on incentives, an industry database, a locations showreel, and much more. And get inspired by Flanders and all the things we’ve got to offer! We do hope to hear from you soon.
