Film studios at Barrandov in Prague have officially completed the construction of two new filming halls, designated 11 and 12. This strategic investment, totaling 210 million CZK, is part of a long-term plan to modernize the entire complex. The new facilities significantly increase the studio's international competitiveness and offer facilities that meet the current demands of global productions.
Technical parameters and equipment
The new facilities were designed with an emphasis on top-notch sound insulation and the variability of the interior layout. Each of the studios has a clear filming area of 1,200 m², with a clear ceiling height of 12.3 meters. In addition to the halls themselves, the construction also includes complete production facilities, providing comfortable office spaces, makeup rooms, and changing rooms for actors and extras.
- Total investment: 210 million CZK
- Area of each studio: over 1,200 m²
- Clear hall height: 12.3 meters
- Start of operation: July
Continuity of operations and future plans
The commissioning of the new halls also has practical significance for the studio in terms of maintaining the existing fund. Thanks to increased capacity, management can proceed with the planned reconstruction of older studios numbered 5, 6, and 7, without significant limitation of ongoing projects or revenue losses. The first film and television crews will begin using the new premises as early as July this year.
“The long-term support of our parent company Moravia Steel has enabled this investment and many other projects, through which Barrandov Studio further strengthens its facilities for Czech and foreign film and television productions.”
The construction of studios 11 and 12 is not an isolated act in the modernization of the complex. Over the past ten years, Barrandov Studio has invested more than 1 billion CZK in its development and technological equipment. The aim of these steps is to maintain Prague's position as one of the main centers of European cinematography, competing primarily with studios in Hungary and Great Britain.
