In Japan, the location incentive program began in 2023 as a project of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Sixteen productions have been selected to receive this grant over the past three years. Before this incentive program, there was also a pilot project by the Cabinet Office to measure the effectiveness of location appeal for four years, starting in 2019. In this session, we will hear tips on location shooting (production) in Japan from local and international producers who have had experience shooting international films in Japan through these projects, focusing on films that Japan has supported.
Presentation followed by networking.
