Visa support

Import of professional equipment

In order to import professional filming equipment it is recommended to use Karnet ATA – Temporary Importation for boomerang freight passport. A Carnet or ATA Carnet is an international customs document which replaces the customs declara-tion and allows the holder temporarily (up to one year) import goods without payment of normally

applicable duties and taxes as well as save time on the clearance process for the purpose. Carnet most often applies for participation in exhibitions, as well as for transportation of product samples, professional equipment and some other catego-ries of goods.


F I L M I N G I N R U S S I A

Advantages of using Carnet ATA:

•Faster and cheaper customer clearance of the imported goods which resolves in customer clear-ance officer making special marks on the relevant part of Carnet sheet leaving the rest to himself. The additional required customs documents do not need to be attached;

•No need to present any deposits or bank guar-antees for the temporary imported goods customs payment as Carnet itself is a financial guarantee;

•The validity period of Carnet ATA is 1 year

•Possibility of visiting not one, but several countries during the validity period (provided the appropriate execution).

In Russia Carnet ATA is issued by the Chamber of Commerce, but this document can only be obtained by the residents of the Russian Federation.

Filming, Video and photo permits

In order to exercise film, video and photo shooting in state institutions, military objects a special permit is required. Such objects include bridges, tunnels, train stations, airports, underground/ metro, Red Square, Ostankino Tower etc.Please, consider the private property law which includes the right of the proprietor for ownership, use and disposition of property. The Russian legis-lation does not have concrete law, specifying the regulations for filming of private property objects, so the usual practice is the following: if the cam-eraman is not located on private territory, he can film the private property objects from the outside. The interior filming is not allowed if the proprietor

informed of it with a sign or an oral statement. All the other interior filming is not considered illegal. But from the practical point of view it is recom-mended to obtain a written permission from the proprietor to do the interior filming, especially if the materials are for further commercial use.Currently the law enforcement agencies can prohibit the filming near schools, kindergartens, theaters and similar institutions as means of anti-terrorist efforts.And if the police do not permit video or photo shooting it is advised to follow the restrictions and obtain an official permit.



Shooting in MoscowAt the present time there is no universal approved procedure to obtain filming permits. The National Film Commission of Russia (NFCR) assists in organizing of shootings with its partners in Moscow. The NFCR provides preliminary location scouting, assists to get shooting permissions and provide the infor-mation about the possibilities of co-operation with Russian regions. For professional film and video shooting normally the following organizations’ approval is necessary:

•The Moscow City Government – www.mos.ru

•Telecommunication and media committee of Moscow - www.mosinform.ru

•The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD - The Ministerstvo Vnu-trennikh Del) www.petrovka-38.org,

Planning phase:1. Kinograd (Nizniy Novgorod)2. Telefabrika (St.Petersburg)3. Gelendzhik Film (Gelendzhik)4. Kazanskaya Film Studio (Kazan)

The recent boom in investment projects of launch-ing new film studios was stimulated primarily by market players’ dissatisfaction with the quality and price level of supply of production facili-ties. But the economic crisis of 2008 made the development of many of these investment projects impossible. In 2010 the plans on development of 10 new film studios in different Russian regions has been announced including 2 in active phase of development (RWS and Glavkino). These studios

will include up to 40 soundstages.On the basis of Lenfilm studio it is planned to create new film production complex — Lenfilm Studio XXI Century. The new production shingle will be launched as the public-private partnership involving Lenfilm, Sistema corp. and its subsid-iary company Russian World Studios (RWS). It is planned that initially Sistema Corp. will invest about $10-15 million in reconstruction of the facilities and updating the equipment.

Active phase:2. Russian World Studios St.Petersburg - new film

production complex with total area 70 000 m² that will be launched as the public-private partnership involving “Russia” State TV and Radio Company (VGTRK holding) and SMM Joint Stock Company (the subsidiary company of Sistema corp.). This project is the second phase of development of Russian World Studios in St.Petersburg with total investments of more than $ 160 mln. The studio complex will provide services of 2000 square meters stage, stage for digital effects, hotel, post-production, cinema hall etc.

1. Glavkino film studio project was initiated by “Channel One” general director Konstantin Ernst, director and producer Feodor Bondarchuk and the owner of “Uralsibbank” Nikolay Tsvetkov. Investments in the construction (33 000 square meters) are estimated at $ 90 mln. It will offer a possibility of studio work (including unique 3000 m² floor) and shooting in a studio for creation a virtual image. Also the studio will offer a system of automatic illumination that helps to change a light set-up in the studio and the innovative technologies of postproduction and cutting. The location of the studio will be outside Moscow city in a pollution-free zone. The program of support for young filmmakers will be launched after the studio begins its activity. Glavkino opening will take place in January, 2012
