Berlin wants to become even more attractive for film and series productions.
Initiative for a more film industry-friendly city
According to this, the Senate had already launched the "Filmfreundliche Stadt" (Film-Friendly City) initiative in 1999. Back in June, Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey (SPD) announced that filmmakers would in future have a central point of contact instead of several, so that they could obtain filming permits more easily. Giffey will explain what the concept will look like in concrete terms at a press event on Wednesday.
