When it’s not necessary to ask for a filming permit?
It´s not necessary to request a filming permit if it doesn´t obstruct the transit of vehicles and / or pedestrians through public spaces, the filming is done with a handheld camera and the film team is reduced.
However, it´s convenient to inform DÉNIA FILM OFFICE of the dates and places of the recording, and provide a copy of the civil liability insurance, in order to inform the Local Police and avoid possible problems during the recording.
Filming at the Castle
It´s a public space, so to shoot in it, you must follow the application procedures outlined above, depending on the type of occupation of the space and the complexity of the shooting.
Filming in the port of Denia
To shoot in the port area that is in the public domain, you must request permission from the PORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY.
For simple filming with a handheld camera, whose film team is reduced, it´s only required to inform the Port Authority.
For more complex filming that requires the assembly of a filming set, with a larger team of people, it´s necessary to make a request and direct it to the SERVICIO DE EXPLOTACIÓN DE PUERTOS, DIRECCIÓN GENERAL DE PUERTOS, AEROPUERTOS Y COSTAS (The Ports Explotation Service, General Direction of Ports, Airports and Coasts).
