From Belgium to Europe

Belgium is situated in the very heart of Europe and is gifted with a talented and multilingual cast and crew. Our small country continuously aims to teem up with producers who have plenty of experience in setting up international co-productions.

Cast & Crew

Caviar was firstly born in Belgium, and is lucky to work with many talented people from across the country. Some of our Belgian talents have grown from national to international, just like Caviar has. Even though we are proud to see their success grow abroad, we know they are always around the corner, keeping Belgium in their heart.

Locations

Belgium is known for its wide variety of historical and contemporary locations, both urban and rural (Tim Burton’s ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’, was shot right outside of Antwerp). Due to its location in the center of Europe, Belgium can also give you easy access to cities abroad, such as Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Paris, that are only a few hours away. By shooting in Belgium, you can be sure to have a wide variety of surroundings and sceneries. Weather you are willing to film at the coast, in nature, in forests, near castles, near rivers, or in charming cities, you will be intrigued by how much this jewel of Europe has to offer! Did you know that Belgium also hides 12 world heritage UNESCO sites? So small, yet so diverse, that’s how our beloved Belgium is “scene”.
