Dubai Film And Tv Commission

Created in May 2012, the Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC) aims to promote Dubai as a shooting and production location to the film and television industry locally, regionally and internationally. It serves as a one-stop shop for producers, film crews and filmmakers to ensure that filming in Dubai is as easy and efficient as possible. DFTC is the sole entity authorized to issue shooting permits for the limitless exciting locations that Dubai has to offer, whether private or public, and does so through the Location Approval Services (LAS) office. Additionally, DFTC is committed to finding ways to reduce the cost of filming in Dubai and provide financial incentives, whether through special arrangement with key industry partners, licensing and fee rebates, or negotiations with service providers.
