Moscow -- The Hungarian film industry expects an increase in providing services to foreign film crews shooting in the country, and a stable situation with co-productions this year, despite the global economic downturn. The situation with local film production, however, which depends heavily on state funding, remains uncertain.
"I'm quite positive that we are going to have a better year than last in terms of providing services," National Film Office director Miklos Taba said. "And the crisis could have a positive effect on the figures as (foreign) studios might want to save money, and for them it is cheaper to come here."
However, any increase would largely be due to the fact that last year was quite poor for the service sector. "In 2008, we had a big fall in the area of providing services to foreign crews," explained Taba.
"First, production was becoming more expensive due to the exchange rate.
