The Government of Galicia is contributing to the filming in our Community of six new feature films and series, distributing 2M€ from the 2025 call for the audiovisual filming attraction grant fund. Among the subsidized projects, the film Tell Me in Secret and the second season of Nemo Point recently finished filming in various locations across Galicia, while the miniseries Lobo and the films nbsp;Operation Camarón 2, Pínkala and Serenade.
The Galician Government is thus advancing the objectives of this grant line, co-financed by the Ministry of Culture, Language, and Youth and the European Union under the Galicia Feder 2021-2027 program, which seeks to promote our Community as a regular setting for prominent audiovisual productions, led by companies from here as well as from the rest of Spain and Europe, with a corresponding economic impact on both the areas that host them and the entire Galician audiovisual industry.
