~ The Indian delegation comprised of Amit Deshmukh, the Minister for Culture - Maharashtra, along with Mr. Kailash Pagare - Managing Director of Dadasaheb Phalke film city - Goregaon and Sanjeev Vijay - Secretary, Government of Maharashtra ~
Mumbai/ December: Vistas Media Capital, by
creating its presence in Abu Dhabi Media Authority Zone, has collaborated with
Abu Dhabi Film Commission to bridge the gap with intent of bringing the best
shooting facilities, postproduction, rebate programs and other benefits of world
class cinema creation for the Bollywood and Regional Film Makers. To mark the occasion,
Mr. Amit Deshmukh, the Minister for Culture - Maharashtra along with his
delegation members Mr. Kailash Pagare - Managing Director, Dadasaheb Phalke film
city and Sanjeev Vijay - Secretary, Government of Maharashtra recently
visited Abu Dhabi Media Zone.
The delegation was received by Hans Frankien, Abu Dhabi Film
Commissioner and Sanjay Raina, Vice President - ADFC where discussions on ways
to collaborate and create exchange programs for talent across India and Abu
Dhabi took place. Honorable Minister and his delegation also met the Department
of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi Chairman, HE Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak and
discussed prospects for both locations to become hubs where world-class content
can be created. The delegation also visited the new World Class facility of Abu
Dhabi Media Zone Authority which is being completed and will start operations
early in 2022.
Talking about the development, Intikhab Chougle, COO – MENA Region,
Vistas Media Capital said: “Abu Dhabi Media
Zone Authority is a one stop shop for all kinds of content production with
360-degree support including every aspect of pre & postproduction. ADFC
also offers facilities like single-window clearance for all shooting
requirements and a robust rebate program is in place for filmmakers across the
globe. Vistas Media has taken the lead to ensure the benefits extended by ADFC
for filmmakers are made available to producers of independent films and content
to those who want to explore international shooting options.”
Abu Dhabi Media zone is a global hub for creativity and content
production. The visit for Maharashtra delegation and Hon' Minister concluded
with a visit to the sets of films like 'Tiger Zinda Hai' which has still been
kept as it is given its novelty and grandeur. They also visited the sets of the
upcoming Bollywood film Vikram Vedha.
Vistas Media Capital has registered ‘Vistas Media FZ LLC’, a company at
Abu Dhabi Media Authority Zone which is authorised to plan and execute – both pre
and post shoots of films in the Abu Dhabi Region. All desired permissions can
be received in a single-window setup for all local activities, something that
cannot be done by independent filmmakers directly. They would require a locally registered
company that will facilitate and complete the end-to-end process. Abu Dhabi
Film Commission through its local partners give a subsidy / rebate of 30% of
the amount spent upfront, without waiting for the release of the film or any
other barriers.
Vistas Media Capital continues to grow and has its presence in India,
US, UK, Canada, Singapore and now it has established itself in one of the most
popular Middle Destination Arab Region of UAE.
