The Region of Epirus created its own Film Office to support and facilitate the development of audiovisual producers of Epirus. It is an office for the attraction and support of audiovisual producers, which is the point of first contact and reference during the shooting of film producers in Epirus. As an independent structure of the Region, it supports for free all national and international film productions of all kinds, which take place in Epirus.

Supports the production companies of the domestic and global film industry in the search for suitable locations and workshops in the region of Epirus in order to promote them as locations for the production of films.

The National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication – EKOME was founded by Law 4339/2015 of the former Ministry of Digital Policy Telecommunications and Media (current Ministry of Digital Governance) and started its operation in December 2017. It is a legal entity operating under private law and supervised by the Ministry of Digital Governance, with a mission to foster and promote public and private initiatives, foreign and domestic, in all sectors of the audiovisual industry. With the operation of EKOME, Greece is responding to modern challenges in the field of audiovisual content production, but also in education, research and archives digitization.

Tax Relief is a second tool to attract audiovisual productions in Greece. EKOME is the official government body that manages this incentive, which can operate in addition to the investment incentive (Cash Rebate). Both are independent investment tools that act together or separately, provided that the general rules of legality and the conditions of State aid cumulation are observed.

A necessary condition for the inclusion in the tax relief program is for the production company to own a Special Bank Account in a Greek credit institution, through which the financial management of the investment plan will be carried out.

The HELLENIC FILM COMMISSION (HFC) is a directorate of the GREEK FILM CENTRE (GFC) which is supervised by the Ministry of Culture and Sports and subsidized by the state. The principal aim of the HELLENIC FILM COMMISSION is to promote and develop Greece as a filming destination for international film and TV productions.
