About the Bali Film Center

Bali Film Center (BFC) is a private sector organization focusing on production services, education, location and film promotion in Indonesia. It was originally established in April 2002 under the Bali Government Tourism Authority as ‘Bali Film Commission’ to professionally assist foreign production companies filming on Bali and surrounding islands of Indonesia.
In a move to expand our capabilities and services, Bali Film Commission has become the ‘Bali Film Center’ to address the growing needs of an industry that is now more creatively diverse and technically skilled.

We enjoy strong support from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Bali Governor's office, Departments of Information, Foreign Affairs, Customs, Immigration, the Local and National Police. However, we receive no funding from the government.

BFC became an official member of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI) in 2003, and a founding member of Asian Film Commission Network (AFCNet) in 2004.

Our office is headed by Deborah Gabinetti (an American), and a team having more than 35 years combined experience in television, film and theater production, international print media, media and public relations.

 

We provide logistical support; facilitate permits, non-union labor force, crew & equipment hire, locations, research, regional & international media coverage and publicity for Bali and the surrounding islands of Indonesia.
