5 1THE CITY OF FILM R ome, one of the world s most beautiful capitals, the city with the highest concentration of cultural heritage on the planet, is also home to another city. A city whose name is known all over the world, and is one of the most used and universal Italian words, on a par with Opera, Ferrari, and Chianti. The word Cinecittà cannot be translated, and wherever you are it means the same thing: Cinema. Cinecittà is not only a legendary name. To this day, it is one of the leading players in the European film industry involved in the complete production of films, documentaries, tv series, commercials and music videos. From pre to post, from special effects to distribution and promotion, Luce Cinecittà is a one stop shop for any audiovisual project, from idea to movie! The studios are located just outside the centre of Rome, covering an area of over 100 acres. Their strategic location, just 30 minutes drive from the airport and 20 minutes by subway from Rome s central station, makes them extremely easy to reach. Their central location, together with the plus that they can host the entire creative and production cycle for an audiovisual production, has made Luce Cinecittà studios the ideal location for the production of several multiaward-winning films, such as The Postman, Life is Beautiful, Ocean s Twelve, To Rome With Love, Mission: Impossible - 3, Angels and Demons, Ben Hur, and Gangs of New York.

6 2ALL THE ADVANTAGES OF TAX CREDITS Tax Credits for 30%, equal to 20 million a year per company T he new Film Law has strengthened the Tax Credit mechanism. Executive production and post-production companies can now get tax credits for 30% of 75% of costs incurred in Italy, for a maximum annual tax credit of 20 million per company.

exhibitors) and credit rates of over 30%

7 The new Tax Credit rules also introduce new categories of beneficiaries (e.g. video game production companies and film exhibitors) and credit rates of over 30% for certain categories (e.g. independent producers that distribute their own films).

The different size sound stages mean the studios can satisfy the needs of not only big film productions, but television and commercial productions, as well.

8 3FILM PRODUCTION FACILITIES Sound stages Luce Cinecittà currently has 19 permanent sound stages for audiovisual productions, with a wide array of shapes and size, all soundproof, air conditioned and with powerful and safe energy systems, overhead grids, walkways and waterproof trapdoors to accommodate all kinds of stage effects. The different size sound stages mean the studios can satisfy the needs of not only big film productions, but television and commercial productions, as well. Renting one of the sound stages comes with added services: they all come with a series of adjacent spaces comprising a total of 300 dressing rooms and offices, 21 make-up studios, and 82 prop rooms, storage rooms and art department workshops. These spaces give productions the ideal logistical base for organizing staff. No matter what your production s needs are, we at Luce Cinecittà studios can satisfy them. Furthermore, there are local independent companies nearby that hire out technical equipment (e.g. Panalight) and provide special digital and mechanical effects services (e.g. Makinarium).
