Film incentives have become one of the most important factors when selecting a production location. Cash rebates, tax incentives and international co-production structures allow filmmakers to increase production value while making budgets more efficient.

Finland has established itself as an attractive destination for international productions, combining competitive incentives with experienced crews, modern facilities and visually distinctive filming locations.

Finland's Production Incentive

Finland offers a national audiovisual production incentive administered by Business Finland. Eligible international productions may receive a cash rebate on qualifying production costs incurred in Finland, helping producers maximize on-screen production value while controlling overall budgets.

The incentive supports feature films, scripted television, animation and documentary productions that meet the programme's eligibility requirements.

Regional Incentives

In addition to the national incentive, several Finnish regions and film commissions offer their own support programmes. Depending on the production structure and filming location, these regional incentives can complement national funding and improve the overall financing package.

Together, national and regional support can make Finland one of the most competitive filming destinations in Northern Europe.

European Co-Production Opportunities

Many international feature films are financed through European co-production structures. Working with partners from multiple countries allows productions to combine financing, creative talent and market access while strengthening international distribution opportunities.

Finland has extensive experience participating in international co-productions and offers a stable production environment for projects targeting global audiences.

More Than Financial Benefits

Choosing a production partner is about more than incentives alone. Experienced crews, efficient production planning, reliable infrastructure and high technical standards all contribute to a successful production.
