As a sector grows, it adds more specialist infrastructure. Taking place Oct. 20-21 and organised by the Feria de Valladolid and Spain Film Commission, Spain’s Shooting Locations Marketplace is a case in point and part of Spain’s drive to consolidate as one of the world’s foremost big shoot locales.
“The Spain Film Commission’s policy is to target specific industry segments, beginning with location managers,” Spain Film Commission president Carlos Rosado said at Valladolid.
The Marketplace is a case in point, coming as the value of locations has grown to become a basic consideration in a highly competitive new content scene. “There’s an exponential increase of productions that has raised the need to set each story in a unique location which meets both producers and directors criteria,” Rosado added. Following, seven takeaways:

Film industries from the U.K. and Norway are forging closer ties in an effort to jointly lure a greater number of high-end film productions to shoot in tandem in both countries.
The British Film Commission (Bfc) and the Norwegian Film Commission (NFC) on Wed. announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding “to seek to encourage greater cultural, commercial and creative exchange” while also “actively working together to foster opportunities to support inward investment film and high-end TV production in both countries,” they said in a statement.
The pact, signed in Oslo by trade reps from both countries, underlines their commitment to “facilitating a frictionless and film-friendly service which supports productions” working in both territories, it added.
The U.K. and Norway are both prominent production hubs for high-end film and TV productions thanks to a combination of tax incentives, skilled local crews, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a wide range of unique and iconic locations.
