Film funding is an excellent investment in the capital region

"Spectacular Filming in Berlin! Explosions, Fire, Smoke," headlines the BZ as a massive crash is staged on the closed city highway near the Schlangenbader Tunnel for the filming of the MBB-funded high-end series HUNDERTDREIZEHN.

Even though there are still uncertainties regarding the new federal funding system, the capital region can once again look forward to an impressively high level of activity this autumn. The numerous productions taking place toward the end of the year are generating economic effects averaging 600% for series and 500% for feature films. This translates into investments and jobs for the region!
