Filming in the Faroe Islands

INSANE LOCATIONS

Waves smashing against sea stacks. Mountain peaks roaring into the sky. Valleys framed by waterfalls. No backdrop can replicate the drama of the rolling clouds. The Faroe Islands offer locations that look unreal—especially as seen through the lens.

Take summer nights, for example. Being this far north, the setting sun simply dips its toes in the horizon, before it rises again. Do you know what this means for the golden hour? Golden hours.

18 mountainous islands characterized by tall mountains, steep cliffs, deep valleys and narrow fjords. A breathtakingly beautiful and dramatic nature, fauna and plenty of seabirds and marine animals. The eye or ear that stop at the countless small and large streams of the islands, or rest by viewing over the Atlantic Ocean. Often turbulent but other times a mirror as far the eye can see.

Experienced local service companies, a professional film industry, high quality accommodation, catering and restaurants is always near you, ready to meet all requirements.

EASY ACCESS
 The Faroe Islands are in all ways a modern, developed society—easily accessible by plane or ferry. Upon arriving, you’ll immediately notice our advanced infrastructure with tunnels, subsea tunnels, and bridges seamlessly connecting the bigger islands. The smaller islands are accessible by ferry rides and helicopter.

Additionally, you can rent your own car, bus—or even helicopter—making it easy to explore the islands at your own pace.
