Cannes Lions Soiree Partner 2014: Tenerife Film Commission

Tenerife Film Commission has joined The Location Guide as a partner for our Soiree at the Cannes Lions Festival. Launched in 2000, the commission’s services include helping producers with location filming options and permits, and connecting them with local service companies.

“Cannes Lions is extremely important,” explains Tenerife Film Commission’s Concha Diaz Ferrer: “As a film commission we are very busy right now helping film producers because the Canary Islands offer a great film incentive, but we cannot forget the commercial industry that keeps our local production and local service companies working all year long receiving new challenges.

“We are coming to The Location Guide’s Soiree with some of our local companies like Sur-Film Production & Services, Blackstone Film Company and Aluzine. We want to keep in touch with the producers that have already visited the islands and remind them that we will be pleased to see them again at our island.

"The second aim is to meet some producers that have never considered Tenerife as a set for their productions, to make them think about it for their next projects.

“In general, we will tell everyone that Tenerife has a great climate – 23 Degrees Celsius on average – an astonishing diversity of landscapes in a small island and all services imaginable, such as hotels, good road networks, banks, crew and equipment.”

Audi has been among the high-profile brands to have visited Tenerife recently, filming on location in Teide National Park with Volcano Films.
