โFilm Estonia has demonstrated a strong positive economic impact, creating jobs not only in the film sector but across many industries. Together with the new film studios currently being built in Jรตhvi and Tallinn, this marks an important step forward for the development of the industry.โ
Estonia is ready to strengthen its position as a filming destination. The increase in the Film Estonia cash rebate from 30% to 40% will take effect in about a month.
