We're paying tribute to the admirably eco-responsible film shoot of Cleo that wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. With the support of both screen.brussels (fund and film commission) and the Flemish Audiovisual Fund, this genuine "Brussels" project combines artistic commitment with respect for the environment. The two organisations are making a concerted effort to support this wonderful project on the ground.

In its sixth session, screen.brussels invests one million euro in 10 projects

The screen.brussels fund has selected 10 coproduction projects that place Brussels and its audiovisual sector firmly in the spotlight. Whether by way of documentaries focusing on our capital and its cultural heritage, the promotion of the area through numerous days of filming or the involvement of our performers and specialist companies in large-scale productions, the projects in which screen.brussels has opted to invest are helping to put the Brussels region on the international audiovisual map.

Filming a feature film uses on average the same carbon equivalent as a family of 4 during one year: 73 tons of CO2, 40% of which for transportation alone! Acting upon its desire to implement changes in favour of the environment, screen.brussels publishes a brochure devoted to Environmentally Friendly Filming in the Brussels-Capital Region.

On the 5th and 6th of December, screen.brussels film commission participated to the 3rd Focus London professional fair, promoting Brussels as a filming hub.

Clint Eastwood shot a film in Brussels!

In August 2017, we were lucky enough to host the filming of “The 15:17 to Paris”, Clint Eastwood’s latest film. The filming took place in Brussels South Station and went very well. Onlookers were stunned to see the famous American director making his way calmly through the crowds of commuters.
