The Film Office also represents one of the largest Hungarian film production companies—SkyFilm Budapest. SkyFilm was established after communism fell in Hungary by one of the leading Hungarian film directors and producers. It has since produced a large number of Hungarian and foreign motion pictures as well as TV shows and commercials. SkyFilm Budapest will provide the production companies and producers we recommend with free production budget and location services.

Budapest is a popular center for foreign productions and co-productions. Hungary offers foreign film makers the beauties of its elegant capitol, Budapest, on the Danube river; Balaton, one of the largest lakes in Europe; the flatlands of the Hortobagy steppes; many 18th and 19th century chateaux and castles and well preserved folk architecture in smaller towns and villages.

Hungarian government is giving very favorable tax incentives to qualifying foreign film companies shooting in Hungary. This new Hungarian Film Law allows for up to 20% rebate to foreign film producers using Hungary for filming.
