The Royal Film Commision

A vision of a thriving Jordanian film industry fueled the creation of The Royal Film Commision. Standing right here, in front of its headquarters, you can almost feel the energy of the past two decades. The Royal Film Commission, or RFC as it is known, is the brainchild of His Royal Highness Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein. He envisioned a commission that would foster the development of a competitive Jordanian film industry on an international scale. The RFC opened its doors in 2003 and quickly became a driving force in pushing Jordan onto the global film scene. The RFC’s mission is multifaceted, encouraging Jordanians to tell their stories, and creating educational programs for future filmmakers. But The Royal Film Commission also strives to position Jordan as a leading location for international productions. This mission is reflected in countless collaborations with international filmmakers, but also in the impressive studio complex that opened its doors in 2019. The RFC offers location scouting services, helps secure filming permits, and provides logistical support to foreign productions. To make Jordan even more attractive, the RFC has implemented financial incentives such as tax breaks and discounts. This dedication to the film industry has turned Jordan into a filmmaking hub, a haven for filmmakers seeking stunning landscapes and a well-supported environment. Today, The Royal Film Commission stands as a testament to Jordan’s commitment to the art of storytelling, a vibrant symbol of its cinematic ambitions.
