Italy's Film Investment Declines Amid Tax Credit Uncertainty; Indonesia Courts Shoots

Italy's audiovisual sector has experienced its first drop in inward investment since 2018, with a 7.4% decrease in content investment in 2025. A report released at the MIA Market in Rome attributes this decline largely to uncertainty surrounding domestic tax credits and the ongoing shift in viewership from linear television to streaming. The scripted sphere was particularly affected by these factors.

In contrast, Indonesia is actively working to become a regional film hub by drafting a new Film Law. The Indonesian Film Agency is collaborating with the Ministry of Culture on this revised legislation, which aims to reshape the agency's powers. Jakarta is already attracting international productions, with Netflix currently having four titles in development in the city, signaling a growing interest in the region for global film and television shoots.
