Incentives for Investors to Produce Audiovisual Works in Serbia – State to Cover up to 25% of the Costs of Making a Film or a TV Series
As announced by the ministry, the decree aims to increase the number of the film projects realized in Serbia, to stimulate the creation of cinematography works and to promote the potentials of Serbia in this field.
The decree envisages the provision of incentives of up to 25% of the qualified costs for making feature films, documentaries, animated films, special-purpose films and TV films or series.
For an audiovisual work whose production budget is over EUR 5 million, the incentives will be provided in the amount of 30% of the qualified costs.
In order to mitigate the economic consequences of the pandemic on the audiovisual production in Serbia, the new feature is the amendment of the stipulations which regulate the minimum budget for a special-purpose film and an individual episode of a TV series, which is now EUR 150,000, instead of EUR 300,000, and the length of an animated series of ten episodes is now 40 instead of 50 minutes.
The right to receiving an incentive can be exercised for the production of a feature film, TV film and a documentary of at least 70 minutes and an animated film of at least five minutes, as well as a TV series of at least three episodes, under the condition that an episode is at least 40 minutes long.
Animated series of at least ten episodes of a total length of at least 40 minutes and a documentary TV program of at least 40 minutes are also eligible for the funds.
The incentives are to be allocated based on the constantly open public call opened by the Ministry of Culture and Information, and requests are filed to an expert commission whose task it will be to assess the requests submitted and determine whether the work meets the requirements. The commission is formed by the government and has a mandate of one year.
The funds to be allocated to the investor are non-repayable, and a return of a part of the qualified costs realized in Serbia is made, the press release says.
