Film Production Services in Serbia
Family Film is a production company in Belgrade providing full production services across Serbia, and the exclusive Production Service Network partner for the country; the same office also services Montenegro. Serbia is the only one of our three core jurisdictions whose cash rebate covers commercials and TVCs as well as feature film and television.
Commercials rebate at 20% (from €150,000 of qualifying local spend); feature and TV work rebates up to 30% (from €300,000), all paid as cash. We handle registration, expenditure tracking and the subsidy request end to end.
Serbia delivers brutalist and socialist-modernist architecture, raw urban texture, mountains and river gorges, and neutral European cityscapes, at the lowest crew cost base of the three core countries (25–35% of UK rates). Belgrade Film Studios anchors the stage infrastructure.
