MUMBAI: Lights, camera, Moscow! Indian filmmakers now have a blockbuster reason to pack their cameras and head to Russia’s capital. At FICCI Frames 2025, Moskino unveiled the Moscow Film Cluster, offering a fully integrated ecosystem and up to a 45 per cent international rebate for productions.
Designed as a one-stop shop, the Film Cluster streamlines the filmmaking process with sound stages, backlots, post-production facilities, and a central operational platform. From pre-production to premiere, Moskino ensures producers can focus on creativity, not logistics.
The incentives are compelling: 30 per cent cash rebate on expenses, plus an additional 15 per cent value in services, visas, and accommodation discounts. And with the Moscow Film Commission providing free services: location scouting, permits, street closures, and dynamic filming support, shooting in Moscow has never been easier.
Legendary Gorky Film Studio, the sprawling Film Park, and the futuristic Film Factory (home to Russia’s largest LED virtual production pavilion) ensure filmmakers have every tool at their fingertips. Moskino even operates 13 cinemas, offering built-in exhibition potential for completed films.
From the Kremlin’s iconic spires to Moscow City’s sleek skyline and sprawling parks, the city doubles as multiple European or Asian capitals while retaining its own cinematic grandeur. With world-class crews and infrastructure, Moscow is positioning itself as Asia’s next major production hub for Indian cinema.
Producers attending FICCI Frames 2025 can visit the Moscow Film Cluster booth to explore collaborations and discover how Moscow can turn their next project into an international success story.
