Starting February 1st 2021 there’s a new film office in Görlitz. This competence center is the point of contact for film management under pandemic conditions. Unique in Germany, the service is individual and personal, tailored to the needs of film productions and can answer your questions about working in Saxony and the immediate vicinity of Dresden. The film office also supports safe working during the shoot.
The city of Görlitz is one of the most attractive film locations in Germany, and as the European Film location of the decade, offers optimal conditions - not only for film productions, but also for the new film office.
The corona pandemic has a direct impact on the preparation and implementation of film productions. Current requirements for hygiene standards and minimization of contact present film teams and service providers with special challenges. In order to film under pandemic conditions, almost all procedures have to be re-evaluated and adjusted. This includes location selection, catering, mobility, logistics, accommodation and services. The film office is a competent partner for the production teams on site.
Mediation of service providers, motivators and other actors on site, particularly with a view to the current requirements in connection with the Corona pandemic in Görlitz and the region
Assisting with the management of hazardous situations
Supporting, monitoring and coordinating film productions on-site under Corona conditions
Acting as an intermediary between the city administration of Görlitz and companies as well as between location owners and other partners
The "Filmbüro Görlitz" is located at the Europastadt GörlitzZgorzelec GmbH (EGZ) and is financed by the City of Görlitz and the Free State of Saxony, and is represented by Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung GmbH (MDM). The project is limited to the end of the year.
