Vienna Film Commission



The Vienna Film Commission is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the local film industry. As a free of charge service by the City of Vienna it supports national and international film and TV productions that aim to shoot feature films, TV shows, documentaries, commercials or student films in Vienna.

History
The Vienna Film Commission was founded in February 2009 as a non-profit joint venture of the Cultural Department of the City (MA 7), the Vienna Film Fund, the Vienna Tourist Board, the Vienna Business Agency, the Vienna Economic Chamber and the Press and Information Services.

The Commission consists of five members, led by Managing Director Marijana Stoisits. Marijana Stoisits is a member of the European Film Academy and second vice chairwoman in the board of directors of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI).

The Advisory Committee of the Vienna Film Commission, the Vienna Film Board, is made up of representatives of each of the five sponsoring organizations.

Since July 2009, the Vienna Film Commission has been based in the Media Quarter Marx in the third municipal District of Vienna.
