Cardiff Film Office is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to attracting, promoting and cultivating film, television and commercial production throughout the Welsh capital city.

We are a division of the City of Cardiff Council and manage filming and photographic shoots for the capital city of Wales – the most film-friendly city in Wales.

We make filming happen quickly and efficiently thanks to our easy-to-use application service. We also fully understand the pressures and requirements of each production, and are committed to the belief that the best way to enable filming is to ensure it does not place unreasonable demands on the locale in which it happens. Key to this is adequate preparation time, proper planning and effective consultation.

Our service:

• Offers contact to the local film sector and with public authorities.
• Coordinates and assists filmmakers in securing filming permits.
• Provides information about local conditions and logistics services.
• Operates an international marketing strategy to promote Cardiff as a top film-production location.

We are constantly looking to make filming in Cardiff easier and are acutely aware of the importance the Film Industry has in promoting local areas, the capital city of Wales and the UK at large.

You can contact Cardiff Film Office either by phone, email or send in an application using our automated online system to obtain permission for your shoot.
