EVENTS | PRODUCTION | FILMS COMISSION
The call will be open until July 18th and is aimed at national production companies participating in international co-productions or providing production services for fiction series and feature films, animation-VFX, docu-fiction, and entertainment programs.
This is BA Production’s second call of the year. It is a financial incentive (Cash Rebate) and is a program promoted by the City, through the Ministry of Economic Development in conjunction with the Buenos Aires Ministry of Culture. The program seeks to boost the local audiovisual industry by reimbursing part of the expenses for productions filmed in the City. The rebate percentage is 25%, and the maximum amount is 250 million pesos per project.

“Boosting the audiovisual industry is much more than an economic phenomenon. It’s part of this city’s identity. These productions put us in the spotlight, generate local value, build culture, and give many young men and women the opportunity to find their passion in this wonderful world of audiovisual production and culture,” said Mayor Jorge Macri.
