The Film Office (ie a reception and service office for audiovisual productions, movies, commercials, etc.) is an initiative addressed at a big number of the market share, with the aim of attracting in a coordinated and effective way the implementation of international film productions in Greece.

The purpose of the Film Office is to be a hub for managing film requests, as well as connecting professionals and organizations related to the execution of an audiovisual production.

The operation of the Film Offices in the Regions is funded by the Ministry of Digital Policy. However, the Region of Western Greece takes also advantage of parallel, additional opportunities to attract the most important international organizations that could invest in the film industry.

In this context, through its participation in the European project CIAK, which is funded by the Cross-Border Program Interreg V / A Greece-Italy (EL-IT) 2014-2020, the Region of Western Greece created its own Film Office with the aim of attracting audiovisual production in the Regional Units of Aitoloakarnania, Achaia and Ilia.

The office started its function at the end of January 2019, at the junction of Amerikis and Aigiou Streets in Patras.
