Film incentives attract investments worth four billion crowns

Foreign TV and film producers spent over four billion crowns in the Czech Republic last year. They were attracted by special film incentives, which allow companies to reclaim up to 20 percent of the cash spent on film-production in the country. According to the Czech Cinematography’s Fund Helena Bezděk Fraňková, the incentives allow the Czech Republic to compete with 14 other European countries, which have introduced similar measures. Among the films made in the Czech Republic last year was Unlocked, featuring Michael Douglas, and the second series of the BBC drama The Musketeers.
