The Basque Country will attend Shooting Locations Marketplace 2025 with a structured proposal for producers, location managers and audiovisual service companies: combining a competitive tax framework with solid technical infrastructure and a visually versatile territory. Under the brand Film Basque Country, the region presents itself as an effective ally to develop and bring productions to life.
The presence of Film Basque Country in Valladolid is more than a promotional effort. It is a direct invitation to industry professionals to consider the Basque Country not just as a backdrop, but as a comprehensive filming solution. With tax incentives of up to 60% + 10%, a public and regularly updated location database, and a personalised assistance service, the Basque proposal is designed to support work from pre-production through to the final stages.
A tax system that reinforces planning
The main financial incentive to shoot in the Basque Country lies in its tax rebate scheme. Productions can access up to 60% plus an additional 10% in deductions, placing the region among the most competitive in the European landscape.
This financial appeal is supported by a set of practical tools designed to optimise production planning. Film Basque Country provides a free and constantly updated database featuring locations across the territory. With a professional account, producers gain access to high-resolution images, technical and logistical data, and direct contacts for each location.
But beyond the digital platform, real support is available. The FBC team, based in Tabakalera (Donostia / San Sebastián), provides direct communication via phone or email and responds to specific production requests, whether visual, logistical or related to atmosphere.
Diverse landscapes, tailored solutions
The Basque Country is described as “a small territory with a broad and diverse tapestry to explore.” This is not just a slogan. Within a compact area, it offers natural landscapes, modern urban settings, historical monuments and industrial zones. This density of locations—combined with a robust technical services network—makes the region suitable for a wide range of genres and narrative styles.
More than geographical variety, Film Basque Country provides added value through an understanding of industry needs. FBC not only facilitates access to locations but also proposes tailored solutions. The team encourages producers to share specific requirements—whether related to lighting, accessibility, or visual tone—and responds with practical proposals.
This approach makes the Basque Country a viable option for both large-scale productions and independent projects. Its adaptability, favourable financial framework and hands-on support allow film teams to unfold their story in a region that is prepared, responsive and efficient.
As an exhibitor at Shooting Locations Marketplace 2025, Film Basque Country aims to strengthen its international positioning. It does so by presenting what it already delivers daily: a singular territory, professional tools, direct assistance and a clear offer for those who seek to film without compromising on quality or control.
