Slovenia

Anonymous Content recently filmed on location in Slovenia for a new live-action campaign promoting Game of War: Fire Age, a top-selling mobile game.

Ireland was considered as a filming location for the eight-day shoot, as were the Eastern European production hubs in Prague and Croatia, but Slovenia won on cost grounds.
After putting it to a vote in September 2016, the Slovenian Government has agreed to go ahead with implementing a 25% cash rebate designed to stimulate the domestic film industry and entice foreign productions to film on location. Commercials productions and TV sitcoms are excluded from eligibility, but feature films, TV series and documentaries can apply.

Production in Slovenia has remained constant over recent years despite an uncertain local economic climate.
Peaceful and quiet, it has an abundance of fairy tale lakes, majestic Alps, glacial valleys, forests and the mysterious Karst Caves.

Any crew or equipment you can't find can easily be brought in from Slovenia’s neighbours Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia where major technical rental facilities and labs are available.

Slovenia was in fact recommended by our director Gary Shore. He’d filmed there before, but there was also a cost issue.

    Equipment

    Local
    There is a good level of equipment available. Anything additional or more specialised can easily be brought in from neighbouring countries.

    Entry requirements
    Slovenia is a member of the European Union (EU). There are no restrictions on the movement of personnel and goods within the EU. If you are planning on bringing equipment in from outside the EU, the ATA carnet system would be the best approach.
    The ATA carnet, also known as the merchandise passport, is an internationally-recognised customs document that allows goods to move into foreign markets free of duty and tax. It is recognised in 85 countries and territories and, as an EU member, Slovenia is part of the system.
