Ranging from urban to rural landscapes, from the authentic medieval city center of Bruges to the industrial port of Ghent and the cosmopolitan avenues of Antwerp, Flanders has something to offer every filmmaker. /

FILM PERMITS A film permit is always required in the Flanders Region when filming footage for professional purposes or recording in public areas, regardless the size of the crew or the impact of the production on the area. Film permits for public areas are issued by the regional city or municipal departments. Depending on the size of the crew, the impact on the local traffic and the required logistic support, the processing of the application takes from a couple of days up to a couple of weeks. The Flanders Region currently counts five local film offices situated in the region’s key cities: Antwerp, Bruges, Ghent, Leuven and Ostend. These offices offer support and introductions to film crews and issue film permits within their city boundaries. The Agency for Nature & Forests, which handles a large amount of nature reserves, forests and parks in the Flanders Region also has its own film office issuing film permits and making risk assessments for film and photo shoots in its locations.
