Film Industry Incubation Programme

We are here to promote the creative economy in audiovisual work.

Our specialty is in film production, where the IDA Hub Film and Multimedia Innovation Centre provides strong backstage support.

Producing every scene is entirely a team effort, and no film can be completed without behind-the-scenes support.
