The Region of the Ionian Islands has established its own Ionian Film Office based in Kerkyra (Corfu) with representation in all the major Ionian Islands, namely, Kefallonia, Lefkada and Zakynthos (Zante). The Ionian Film Office provides support to national and international film productions on the Ionian Islands and acts as the first reference, information, and contact point for any audiovisual productions.
The Ionian Film Office collaborates with the Department of Audio & Visual Arts of the Ionian University, which can provide support to audiovisual productions both in terms of technical means and human resources.
