Film Commission Torino Piemonte

What Film Commission Torino Piemonte does

Film Commission Torino Piemonte (FCTP) is a non-profit foundation established on 20 July 2000 by Regione Piemonte and Città di Torino, headquartered at Via Cagliari 42 in Torino. It is one of the first Italian film commissions and operates as a public-purpose body promoting Piemonte as a location for film, television and audiovisual production. Its core offering combines four specialised film funds (Piemonte Film TV Fund, Piemonte Film TV Development Fund, Piemonte Doc Film Fund, Short Film Fund) with end-to-end production support services including location scouting, permit facilitation, crew offices, a casting room and the Sala Paolo Tenna cinema at its 9,400 sqm headquarters.

The foundation has supported over 2,000 projects since inception, growing from eleven productions in its first year to more than 200 annually by 2019, and has attracted major international productions including Matthew Vaughn's The King's Man and the Fast & Furious instalment Fast X. Its underlying 'technology' is principally an information and infrastructure layer: a film database of 1,858 entries, a location guide of 1,597 sites, a production guide of 92 companies and 495 professionals, and a 170-venue theatres database, together with the owned TFI Torino Film Industry market (1,500 accredited participants) and the TorinoFilmLab talent programme.

FCTP's business model is public-sector rather than commercial. It is funded by its founding public stakeholders (Regione Piemonte and Città di Torino) with additional support from Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, CRT Foundation and membership contributions, and administers regional film funds on their behalf. It does not sell products commercially; revenue derives from public grants, administered film fund contributions, and ancillary service fees. Customer segments are project-based: Italian and foreign production companies, film industry professionals, and heritage/tourism stakeholders benefiting from cinetourism. The organisation holds full legislative recognition under Italian Cinema Law n. 220 and is a member of the Italian Film Commissions (IFC) and European Film Commission Network (EUFCN).
