Overview
The film industry has been growing in Iceland for the past few years. Iceland’s dramatic landscapes are becoming increasingly popular as backdrops in international films and TV series. Low COVID-19 infection rates in Iceland in 2020 and 2021 attracted many film projects to Iceland. Iceland offers incentives to attract foreign film projects, including reimbursing 35 percent of costs incurred in the production of films and television program in Iceland.
