CINEPORTO in Puglia

Puglia in 2010 will enhance its services dedicated to the movie industry on the territory opening up 2 business centres located in Bari and Lecce.
Puglia has extended its range of services and funding for producers, maestros, artists and the public: two new buildings which enrich the region in addition to the extraordinary variety of locations and the human resources and services already available.
