Production Service in Tunisia
Tunisia: A Historic Icon Re-Emerges
Tunisia is famously home to the original Star Wars landscapes and Raiders of the Lost Ark deserts. While it has a long cinematic heritage, the destination is only now rising to meet modern filmmakers. This is driven by aggressive digital modernization, major legislative reforms in the cultural sector, and a significant infrastructure recovery that offers a stable, high-tech alternative to more saturated Mediterranean hubs.
The Production Reality:
Visual Chameleon: Tunisia is the region’s most efficient “double.” It offers the architectural depth of the Middle East and the aesthetic of North Africa with far lower logistical friction.
Rapid Permitting: As part of its modernization, the government has streamlined approvals. General filming permits from the Ministry of Culture are now typically processed in just 3–7 days.
ATA Carnet Ready: As an established Carnet territory, importing specialized camera packages and drone tech is a standard, hassle-free procedure handled by our local teams.
The “New Wave” Support: While Tunisia is a veteran host, our local team bridges the gap between its historic charm and modern requirements. We navigate the VAT exemptions (up to 20%) and potential Ministry of Tourism subventions that can cover up to 80% of local transport and lodging. Whether it’s a high-gloss TVC or a period feature, we can provide a western-standard production spine in a country that is confidently rewriting its role in global cinema.
