The Film Location Engagement Desk (FLEX) serves local and foreign productions with inter-agency assistance for government permits, locations, and production logistics in the Philippines, and also engagement with Philippine production companies, technical suppliers, and crew. FLEX is the single-window clearance office that provides a general endorsement to productions to assist in their transactions with government offices across the country.

The FDCP’s Inter-agency Partnership Program aims to support government agencies in their film-related events and executions by providing relevant  films,  hosting talkbacks/discussions, and providing a venue/platform for the film screenings.

Through the UniPhilippines Program, FDCP  has hosted the Philippine Pavilion in major international film markets like Hong Kong FILMART, Cannes Film Market, Asian Film Market, and Asian Television Forum. Around 30 to 40 companies participate in each film market throughout the year to connect with international counterparts for co-production on projects and distribution of films. 

Year by year, more and more Filipino films and filmmakers are being chosen by established and prestigious international film festivals all over the world to compete with films from other countries. Since 2016, more than 100 films have been showcased as part of the lineup of these film festivals either to be in competition or exhibition.
