Prague has a very strong filmmaking tradition. We have very experienced film professionals, exceptional infrastructure and very talented crews for big and even for smaller scale projects. Come to get it! Foreign Movies Filmed in the Czech Republic For years, the Czech Republic was a hot destination for foreign movie production. As a result, new studios and soundstages were built and Czech crews and production companies gained considerable experience. In recent years, the Czech Republic has lost out to other countries, such as Hungary, which provide significant tax incentives to foreign productions. In October 2009, the Czech government approved a 20% tax rebate for productions shooting in the Czech Republic. It will go into affect in January 2010, if approved by the European Commission and it should give a big boost to the Czech film industry. Over the years, film locations in the Czech Republic have been passed off as sites both historical and current. Sometimes Prague is even cast as Prague.
