Netherlands Film Fund & Film Commission

Nederlands Filmfonds

National Fund & Commission · Netherlands

The national agency supporting Dutch film production; its Netherlands Film Commission division is the single point of contact for filming — financing, locations, crew and permits — and administers the 35% cash-rebate Film Production Incentive. The starting point for any production needing stunt crew or rigging in the Netherlands.

Screen Flanders & Wallimage

Regional Film Funds · Belgium

Belgium's film support runs regionally: Screen Flanders (with the Flanders Audiovisual Fund / VAF) is the economic support measure and de-facto commission for Dutch-speaking Flanders, while Wallimage covers French-speaking Wallonia and screen.brussels serves the capital. Between them they handle financing, locations, studios and crew connections for productions shooting in Belgium.

FILM in AUSTRIA

Austrian Film Commission · FISA+

National Film Commission · Austria

Part of the Austrian Business Agency, Austria's national film commission and first point of contact for international productions — locations, local crew, funding guidance and formalities. It administers FISAplus, the national incentive offering up to a 30% cash rebate plus a 5% green bonus. The body to approach for stunt-heavy service productions in Austria.

SWISS FILMS

National Film Agency · Switzerland

The national promotion agency for Swiss filmmaking, working on behalf of the Federal Office of Culture. Switzerland's film support is decentralised — locations are handled cantonally and SWISS FILMS focuses on promotion and export rather than a one-stop location commission — so for stunt crew the Swiss teams below (1291 Productions, Swiss-Stunt) are the direct route.

ICA Portugal

Instituto do Cinema e do Audiovisual

National Film Agency · Portugal

Portugal's national public film institute — supporting cinema and audiovisual activity, administering funding and co-production, and overseeing shooting visas. The associated Portugal Film Commission runs the production-services directory and the cash-rebate scheme, and is where verified Portuguese stunt teams (see Mad Stunts) are listed.

Creative Greece (EKOME)

Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center

National Film & Audiovisual Agency · Greece

Created in 2024 by merging the Greek Film Centre and EKOME, the Hellenic Film & Audiovisual Center (“Creative Greece”) runs Greece's cash-rebate and tax-relief schemes, the national Film Offices Network, and the Hellenic Film Commission and industry directory. The single national body for productions and the place to source approved Greek crew.

Malta Film Commission (Screen Malta)

National Film Commission · Malta

Included for Malta's outsized role in international shoots: the Commission markets the island and its famous SFX water tanks at the Malta Film Studios (Rinella) — on the shortlist of any major water-based or stunt-dive production (Gladiator, U-571, World War Z, 13 Hours). It facilitates incentives, permits and studio access rather than supplying stunt crews directly.

Stunt Base

Stunt Team · Netherlands

A global-operating Dutch stunt company descended from the de Beukelaer team founded in the late 1960s, now run by coordinator Marco Maas. Covers the full action range — driving, diving, rigging, airbags, air ramps, fire — with credits across Dutch and international TV and film (Mocro Maffia, Ferry, Van der Valk). The most established, web-verifiable stunt outfit in the Netherlands. Instagram @stunt_base.

Movie Stunts International

Stunt Team & Training · Netherlands / Belgium

A permanent team of stuntmen and stuntwomen specialising in realistic fire stunts, car stunts and combat work, active across the Netherlands and Belgium with their own equipment and a stunt centre in Almere. Credits include Redbad, Baghdad Messi and Before We Die. Notably highlights third-party liability insurance — a genuine differentiator in this market.

Blaze Stunt Team

Full-Service Stunt Company · Belgium

“The Belgian Stunt Team” — an international full-service company with 15+ years offering action design (fire, cars, fights, weapons, explosions, bikes, falls), rigging and engineering, and a warehouse plus training centre for stunt-gear rental and extra performers on foreign productions.

1291 Productions

Stunt & SFX Company · Switzerland

Professional Stunt Team · Portugal

Portugal's leading professional stunt team — stunt coordination, fight choreography, rigging, precision driving, high falls and equipment rental — with an extensive international service-credit list including Uncharted, Warrior Nun, Heart of Stone and The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Link goes to its verified Portugal Film Commission profile (the team's own site is currently a JavaScript shell).

The Stunt Academy

Stunt School · Rotterdam, Netherlands

Billed as “the action academy of the Netherlands,” training anyone wanting to perform stunts for film, TV and commercials. The curriculum spans MMA, eskrima, high falls, rock climbing, car and motorbike stunts, tricking, freerunning, acrobatics, wirework and weapons handling, on a monthly membership basis.

Movie Stunts Training Centre

Stunt Training Facility · Almere, Netherlands

A genuine, verifiable training and rehearsal facility attached to Movie Stunts International (see Stunt Teams), in Almere, used for preparing performers and rehearsing action safely. Not a standalone school, but one of the few confirmed dedicated training spaces in the Dutch market.

Cyclone Stunts — Training

Stunt Rehearsal Facility · Athens, Greece

Cyclone Stunts (see Stunt Teams) operates dedicated rehearsal and preparation premises in Athens and prepares professional stunt performers across Europe. Team-attached training rather than an open academy, but the most credible verifiable stunt-training resource in Greece.
