Financing Cinematography

Romania benefits from being one of the EU countries with lower cinematographic production costs, and that is why it is on the radar of many international studios. The cumulative annual turnover of the film industry in Romania is approximately EUR 53 million, derived mainly from foreign productions in Romania.

Local professionals and professionals who work at co-productions can access Romanian funds for their projects. The main authority involved in regulating and supervising cinematography in Romania is the National Cinematography Council (CNC). Among others, the CNC collects the money for the cinematographic fund and selects the cinematographic projects that receive financial aid.
