hello!Behind the scenes, “Corazón de León”

5Two years ago we celebrated the passage of Law 1556. We had in our hands an incentive that would make us one of the most appealing and attractive destinations for international film production in South America. The incentive allows a rebate of 40% of film services expenses and 20% of expenses for logistics services, as exports by Colombian companies. In this way, it promotes Colombia as a location with little-known but immense natural and cultural biodiversity, ready to compete with incentives available in the international arena.

In this period we have implemented a range of strategies to bring our Colombian talent to the world stage: we participate with projects, films and companies at international festivals and markets such as the American Film Market, the AFCI Locations Trade Show, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto and San Sebastian, in order to bring attention to Colombian productions, spread the word about the incentive system, and position ourselves as an attractive shooting location. Furthermore, through our website www.locationcolombia.com, we have created a bridge to communicate with our international audience. On this platform, you can find the requirements and documents needed to apply for the incentive, an image bank to view and evaluate the locations, and a direc-tory of local companies that provide services.

Today, the world’s eyes are beginning to turn to Colombia. During 2014, seven projects from the United States, Argentina, Spain and Colombia were filmed in the country, and the first cash rebate was given to the movie “The 33,” produced by Mike Medavoy and starring Antonio Banderas and Juliet Binoche. This allowed us to show the effectiveness of the rebate program, as well as proving to the industry that it acts as a real and effective incentive.

Several international media outlets such as Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Screen International have all highlighted our achievements. For the first time, we captured the interest of an industry giant like Netflix, which pro-duced the first season of the “Narcos” series through Gaumont International Television. Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix, had the chance to meet with President Juan Manuel Santos in Bogota. This important pro-

duction, directed by the renowned Jose Padilha and starring Wagner Moura and Boyd Holbrook, also featured local directors like Andi Bais and over 100 Colombian professionals.

Elijah Wood’s company SpectreVision produced the first movie of a horror saga, “The Boy”, in Santa Fe de Antioquia; the stars Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto and Ryan Kwanten came to Colombia to make the film “Blunt Force Trauma” in Bogota and nearby areas; Argentinean production company Sinema made a remake of the movie “Corazón de León,” adapted to the Colombian context with local actors such as Marlon Moreno, Maria Nela Sinisterra, and Manolo Cardona; one of the biggest Spanish-language films made in 2014 was “Palm Trees in the Snow,” produced by Nostromo Pictures, which used our locations in Bahia Solano, Santa Marta and La Jagua to shoot its outdoor scenes and for sound design; and finally, the short film “Zambo Dende” was produced in the studios of Fox Telecolombia in Bogota.

All of these achievements were made possible by the commitment and ongoing efforts of the many stakeholders in the Colombian audiovisual sector. Key support was provided by the Colombian government, the private companies that offered their film services (Contento Films, Dynamo, 64A Films, La Ventana Films and Fox Telecolombia), the human talent that partic-ipated in each of these productions, the hotel industry, and local municipal governments.

At the Colombian Film Commission we celebrate the consolidation of the Medellin Film Commission and the launch of its incentive, a 15% rebate for productions filmed in and near the city that invest a minimum of around US$200,000 in services. We also applaud the creation of the Bogota Film Commission, which already has a policy for a Single Filming Permit in public spaces in the capital, and is now developing its structure in order to begin to officially operate in March of this year. These two support entities will provide essential backing for future productions.

We already know and should not doubt for a single moment that Colombia is a location that is ready to meet the needs of international producers; and we hope that it continues to be the backdrop for many stories yet to come.

Law 1556Cash rebate 40% - 20%Colombia offers a cash rebate or cash reimbursement for films partially or totally produced in Colombia (long feature films, TV movies with a broadcast of up to 2 episodes, documentaries and animation). 40% for “film services” (services related to audio-visual pre production, production or post-production including artistic and technical services) and 20% for “film logistics services” (those that are provided for hotel, catering, and transpor-tation) of the amount spent in the country.

The cash rebate applies to services provided by Colombian entities or persons that are domiciled or residing in the country. It will be paid with resources of the Colombia Film Fund (FFC for its Spanish acronym), a financing instru-ment or account created in 2012 with funds from the General National Budget.

Value Added Tax (IVA) RebateInternational audiovisual productions may obtain IVA tax reimbursement for services purchased in Colombia since the Colombian Tax Statute (Article 481,ParagraphE)declaresallexportservicesexemptfromthistax;thisincludes services provided in the country under a written contract and used exclusively outside the country by companies or persons with no business or activitiesinColombia,asperrequirementslistedintheregulation.

Colombia’s Audiovisual SectorTelevisionAudiovisual production in Colombia is booming. The Colombian television industry successfully exports shows –especially soap operas– to over eighty countries around the world including “Betty la Fea” (“Ugly Betty”), one of the biggest hits on international channels, to a number of continents and is now a constant source of programming for the Latin US market.

VariousinternationalcompaniesarecurrentlyproducingprojectsinColombia.These include the Canadian production company NBC, which made episodes of the series “Covert Affairs,” and the U.S. company Gaumont International Television, which produced the first season of the “Narcos” series for Netflix, the world’s leading internet television platform.

The company Fox International has set up offices in Colombia and now has its own filming studios in Bogota, where it produces internationally broadcast series.

AdvertisingThe country´s advertising industry has taken solid root over the past few decades and in past years several Colombian production houses specializing in production of spots on Colombian locations have begun to produce for international clients whose spots air in many different countries.

The world´s largest advertising agencies including McCann Erickson, Leo Burnett, J. Walter Thomson and others have operated in Colombia for over thirty years. More than thirty local agencies produce for national and inter-national clients.

Approximately twenty production and preproduction advertising companies operate in Colombia - some of them specializing in production for interna-tional brands and agencies.

FilmIn 2014, the Colombian film industry achieved impressive figures in atten-dance, premieres of Colombian films, and openings of new cinemas. Of the 254 films screened in theaters, 28 were Colombian feature films and 12 were co-productions. In the short film category, around 60 films were shown.

Colombia has also seen a rise in the number of movie theaters. In 2014, the total number of screens reached 833, an increase of 43 screens compared to 2013. 95% of these are digital, underscoring viewers’ growing tendency to focus their interest on the movies coming out of film studios and on 3D family-ori-ented movies. Estimates by movie theater companies predict that by 2016 the growth in cinemas will stabilize at around 1,000 screens, all digital.

Colombiahasmovedsquarelyintotheinternationalspotlightinrecentyears. In 2014, a series of co-productions have brought Colombia worldwide attention. “Gente de Bien”, by Colombian director Franco Lolli, took part in the official selection at the Critics’ Week at Cannes. “Los Hongos”, a film set in Cali, directed by Colombian Oscar Ruiz Navia, won the Filmmakers of the Present Special Jury Prize at the Locarno Film Festival and participated in the Official Selection at Toronto, Tokyo, Viennale, Seville, Cairo, Mar del Plata, Biarritz, Rio de Janeiro, and Havana. “Belated,” a co-production between Colombia, Argentina and Norway, recounts the love triangle between its characters;itpremieredatthe63rdBerlinFilmFestival.And“Manos Sucias”, shot in Buenaventura, was directed by American Josef Wladyka with constant supportfromSpikeLee(DirectorofMalcomXand25thHour);itreceivedtheBest New Director Award at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Another majorsuccesswas“Leidi”,bySimónMesa,whoistodaythefirstColombianto win the Palm d’Or at Cannes, with this 16-minute Colombian and British co-production.

Infrastructure for Audiovisual ProductionCrewsThere are many independent and freelance workers in Colombia employed as department heads, technicians and production personnel, many with extensive experience in international co-productions.

The country boasts many talented individuals experienced in television production and co-productions. Colombian film crews are known for their enormous commitment, hard work and resourcefulness. There are no audiovi-sual unions at this time, or fixed rates for services or labor. There are a number of Colombian associations working to ensure the wellbeing and development of the audiovisual industry.

TalentColombian talent is highly prized throughout the world and has met with enormous success on the international market. Some of the best known actors include Sofía Vergara, known for her work in the television series “Modern Family” and “Men in Trees”, Catalina Sandino, who starred in “Twilight Saga:

Juana Acosta, star of “Carlos” and “Hospital Central”, and Angie Cepeda, outstanding in “Los Prote-gidos”, “Fuera de Lugar” and “Love in the Time of Cholera” have earned solid recognition in Spanish-speaking markets.

Television series like “Ugly Betty” and “Café”, written by screenwriter Fernan-do Gaitan, have achieved great success in countries around the world. And Hollywood has bid for the rights to remake several recent Colombian films.

Colombia has an enormous visual wealth. If there is one word that would define my impression of this place, it would be exuberance. Exuberance in the color, the music, the food, the skins, and in people’s behavior. Everything seems rich and warm to me, and this makes the film “Palm Trees in the Snow” so full of life; I think it needed it. Coming to Colombia and seeing these images, you understand why someone can fall in love with a place like this.Adriana Ugarte, Actress in Palmeras en la Nieve

“Shooting in Colombia has been wonderful. The country´s beauty comes right off the screen. I know that audiences around the world will get introduced to a country that they probably haven’t seen before or that they haven’t seen in this kind of splendor. We´ve shot in all the different areas of the country: Bogota, Medellin, Villavicencio, Santa Marta, and Cartagena. The show is visually spectacular; it’s set in the mid 80’s, so the costumes and the production design reflect an entirely different time than now. I think this is very unique.”Chris Brancato, Executive producer and writer in Narcos series

“I had a very good time during my stay in Colom-bia, people are very kind and it’s a beautiful place. The production team is as good as any I’ve worked with in England or the United States before, and if it weren’t, I would tell you the truth. “Mickey Rourke, Actor in Blunt Force Trauma

“Colombia as a location is pretty spectacular; it’s beautiful and incredibly varied. I couldn’t ask for more. We found so many different types of locations for the project that have let us emulate diverse places from the United States in The Boy.” Noah Greenberg, Director of Photography and Cameraman,The Boy

“Working with the Colombian crew has been an absolute pleasure. I’ve filmed all over the world and our crew was incredibly warm and professional. I have to say that they already stand up with a lot of the world-class crews that I’ve worked with around the world. They made this project, which was very difficult and very demanding, a joy for me.”Lou Diamond Phillips, Actor in The 33

“First, I want to congratulate you all and President Santos for the initiative they have had to bring films to Colombia, an amazing and diverse place. It is an opportunity to make films, which not only enrich-es the film industry, but everything that happens around it, and one way or another it will positively change the country’s image.”Antonio Banderas, star of The 33, during his visit to thepresidential palace.

Import and export procedures must be carried out by a customs agent (there are some 100 authorized agencies), except when goods are valued at less than US$1,000. The National Tax and Customs Office (DIAN) is responsible for authorizing airports and ports for imports and exports.

Hiring Personnel There are several forms of contracts in Colombia that can be used to hire artists,technicians,authors,andanylogisticalservicesrequiredinproduc-tionprojects.Theseareafewofthemostcommon:

Civil/Commercial ContractThese are independent contracts not seeking to establish any labor relation-ship between the contractor (producer) and the contractee. For this reason the contract must not refer to any of the common elements found in labor contracts, such as subordination and dependence, although the necessary mechanisms of coordination between the parties must be stated.

This type of contract is free and is signed once an agreement is reached regarding the amount and form of payment and other obligations. A written document is recommended but is not usually obligatory.

The parties are free to set the domicile for legal purposes: Colombia or the producer’s country of origin.

This type of contract can be used to hire persons considered authors of the work (screenwriters, directors, animation designers or composers of original music) when it is necessary to define the rights each of these authors grants to the film

producer. These may include rights to publicly present the work in different for-mats, territories, adaptations, reproductions, etc. The contract also establishes whichrights,whenapplicable,arereserved;althoughassignmentofrightsispresumed in Colombia, all kinds of agreements to the contrary are accepted.

This type of contract is also used to contract artistic services (actors, directors of photography, art directors, set designers, editors, etc.) and technical services provided by individuals or legal entities, as well as a wide range of logistical services (transportation, locations, rooms not in hotels).

It is also important to a production that the contract state the amount of com-pensation paid for each product and whether said compensation is definitive orifpartofitissubjecttocommercialexploitationofthework.Thisisentire-ly up to the parties, since there is no mandatory royalty system in Colombia.

Contracts with screenwriters of the work to be filmed, actors, sound pro-ducers, or composers of music to be used in the film can be recognized and notarized. This is useful, and in certain cases mandatory (in accordance with national copyright legislation contained in Law 23 of 1982). It is inexpensive (about3USdollarspercontract)andcanbedoneveryquickly.

It is also important for productions that the contract state that any personnel hired are to assume their own responsibilities visa- vis the Colombian health care, pension and professional risk systems, regardless of whether the produc-tion company contracts additional accident or life insurance coverage.

Temporary Employment Agency (ETT)The use of temporary employment agencies is a common practice for hiring cast, crew, and artistic personnel for the audiovisual sector.

Temporary Employment Agencies (ETT, as per the acronym in Spanish) are companies whose activity consists of temporarily placing workers hired by the ETT with a user company. Only employment agencies which have been prop-erly authorized under the terms provided by law may hire workers in order to temporarily assign them to another company.

Labor ContractsThese contracts cover all forms of labor governed by Colombia’s Substantive Labor Code. This model is usually not used for film productions, since film requiresworkforshorterperiodsthanotherfields.

TaxesBelow is an outline of Colombian tax legislation, designed to help produc-ers better plan their work and correctly calculate budgets and expenses.

Value Added Tax (VAT)The VAT tax is added to the cost of goods and services purchased in Colombia. Therearethreemajortaxgroups:0%,5%and16%.Servicessuchasrestau-rants carry an 8% VAT tax.

There is no VAT tax on goods temporarily imported for a limited duration, suchasequipmentandotheritemsusedinfilmproductionandshootingactiv-ities. Foreign exchange or currency sales are VAT-excluded operations.

Starting in 2014, no VAT will be charged for imported goods sent by express shipments with a value of less than two hundred dollars (US$200).

s tax regulations apply to certain parts of the country such as the Amazon de-partment and the archipelago of San Andres, Providencia, and Santa Catalina.

National Consumer TaxThistaxwasrecentlycreatedbyLaw1607of2012;itischargedforservicesor sales to the end consumer or for the following items imported by the end consumer:

cafes, supermarkets, ice cream and fruit shops, pastry shops and bakeries, including contracted food services and the sale of food and alcoholic bev-erages for consumption in bars, taverns, and nightclubs. These goods and servicesarenotsubjecttoVAT.

Withholding TaxThewithholdingtax(retenciónenlafuente)isataxcollectionmechanismforwithholding income taxes and complementary taxes at the time of payment, when billed through a formal printed invoice (factura) or a billing statement (cuenta de cobro). Withholding rates can vary from 1.0% to 33%, depending on the service provided, whether the individual or company is Colombian or foreign, and whether it is an individual or a legal entity.

It is important to note that each taxable event should be analyzed to deter-mine its withholding rate.

Pursuant to Article 14 of Law 1556 of 2012, for the purposes of withholding, foreign source income is deemed to be: “... income earned by creative staff, technicians, and production staff who do not reside in the country, when no contract exists and no payments are made in Colombia resulting from their participation in a foreign film that has been certified by the Film Office (Di-

reccióndeCinematografía)oftheMinistryofCultureandthatisregisteredinthe film registry.”

TheaboveimpliesthatpersonsnotresidinginColombiaarenotsubjecttoincome taxes or complementary taxes, provided that their income is derived exclusively from the provision of artistic, technical or production services for foreign films.

For services provided in Colombia by individuals or companies that do not reside or are not domiciled in Colombia, the withholding rate will be from 25% to 33%, except when the payments or credits to an account are for consulting, technical services and technical assistance, in which case the applicable rate is 10% as income tax, regardless of where the service was provided.

InsuranceApproximately 30 insurance companies (supervised and authorized by the Colombian Financial Regulatory Agency, Superintendencia Financiera) offer general insurance and life insurance covering the different processes involved in film, television and advertising production – especially during the filming or shooting process.

Policies offer general coverage for the following:

• Actors,artisticpersonnel,andcrew,guaranteeingpaymentofinsuredamounts for interruption of filming, illness, accident, or death.
