Gran Canaria Film Commission

Canary Islands

Gran Canaria has become a great safe filming destination, an oasis in this sanitary crisis with one of the lowest levels of contagion in Europe thanks to the rapid establishment of temporary and exceptional measures for the containment of Covid-19.

Shooting in Gran Canaria is allowed by national and regional government since May 2020, as audiovisual productions are considered economic and professional activities. These productions follow the “good practice guide” from the Film and audiovisual Arts Institute (ICAA).

Nevertheless, due to Covid travel restrictions some of our local production service companies such as Macaronesia Films, Seven Islands Films, Magnetic Films have been the first of Spain to implement remote filming. Images are transmitted live in real-time, with end-to-end encryption to clients, agencies and production teams such as Pantene, DNB, La Once or the Film Commission without attending the shoot - wherever you are, you will feel that you are in Gran Canaria.
