Tomorrow, I head off to Belgrade on 2009’s next big project – the establishment of the Serbia Film Commission.
According to USAID, who are funding the project, Serbia’s thriving film industry hit its peak in the early 1980s, with Yugoslavia ranking as one of the top destinations for overseas film productions. In the past several years, the motion picture industry has increasingly looked to Eastern Europe as a destination for film production. The Serbian industry is therefore looking to position itself as a unique and comparable location with capable talent and comprehensive film service resources.
