Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I apply for the permit?
It is recommended that you submit your application well in advance to allow for municipal coordination, especially if the production involves road closures, the reservation of public space, drones, or heritage sites. Contact the Film Office to find out the estimated timeframes based on the type of production.
Can I fly drones?
The use of drones will be subject to current aviation regulations (AESA) and the applicable authorizations based on location, operating hours, safety, and potential impact on third parties. Please explicitly state this in your application.
Can I film on private property?
Yes, but express authorization from the property owner is required. The Film Office can provide guidance on coordinating with the municipality, but private authorization must be arranged directly with the property owner.
What happens if I need to close a street or reserve parking spaces?
This must be clearly stated in the application so that we can assess feasibility, coordinate with the local police, and establish the conditions of use. The more details you include in the application, the faster the decision will be made.
Are there any fees?
Information regarding fees and financial terms complies with current municipal regulations. When available, the specific ordinance governing film shoots will be published. Please contact the Film Office for updated information.
What documents should I include?
At a minimum: production company information, contact person, type of production, dates and times, requested locations, technical requirements (public roads, drones, structures, etc.), number of crew members, and insurance documentation and production plan.
