FISAplus Film Funding: €465 Million in Value Creation and International Productions in Austria

Since the introduction of the FISAplus funding program in 2023, Austria has supported 162 film projects with a total of 144 million euros. This funding has resulted in 3,895 shooting days and generated approximately 465 million euros in added value. The total production costs of the funded projects amount to 1.4 billion euros.

FISAplus not only boosts Austria's advertising and brand value but also acts as an economic lever: every euro of funding results in around three euros of direct production spending in the country. Additionally, 1.20 to 1.50 euros in additional revenue flow back into public budgets. The creation of new infrastructure, such as two film studios at the Port of Vienna, further emphasizes Austria's attractiveness as a filming location.

High-profile international productions such as the HBO series "The Regime" starring Kate Winslet and "The Fountain of Youth" with Natalie Portman, as well as German-language films like "Very Best Ager" with Iris Berben, have been made possible in Austria thanks to FISAplus. These projects strengthen the competitiveness of Austria's film industry and create skilled jobs.
