Mumbai: In an effort to motivate tourists to visit the city or state after seeing it in films and encouraging the country to make their land conducive to filming the film, the Central Tourism Department succeeded with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I & B) organized symposium in Mumbai on Monday , proposing a film promotion office at the head of the minister’s office for timely shooting permissions and film facilitation policies that must be followed by all countries.
Although the I & B ministry founded the film facilitation office in Delhi in 2015 which helped 120 international filmmakers from 27 countries to shoot in India since its formation, Secretary I & B Apurva Chandra appointed that “only 70 domestic films” needed for various states for Relieve shoots and free distances.
Chandra said that the government will soon frame the ‘film facilitation policy design’ – based on the policy that 14 countries have produced – that all other countries can adopt.
