Artbox is Lithuania’s leading creative production house, co-producer of Netflix’s “The Forgotten Battle” and Tribeca winner “January,” while Baltic Film Services and Dansu Films are the country’s leading production-service companies, having serviced HBO’s “Chernobyl” and Netflix’s “Clark” respectively. Lithuania’s film tax incentive returns up to 30% of a production’s budget, structured as a private-investment tax offset rather than a direct cash rebate, per the national film authority’s own published terms. This directory lists verified production houses headquartered in Lithuania, sourced live from Vitrina’s global entertainment company database. For a continent-wide view, see our Europe production house directory.
- 1Lithuania’s film tax incentive is structurally a private-investment offset, not a cash rebate (2026): local companies invest non-repayably in a production in exchange for reduced corporate income tax, up to 30% of budget (Lithuanian Film Centre).
- 2Investment through the incentive reached €25.6 million in 2025, up roughly 42% year-over-year (Cineuropa, citing Lithuanian Film Centre, 2025).
- 3Vilnius-based service companies handled the Lithuania shoots for HBO’s “Chernobyl” (10 Emmy wins) and Netflix’s “Clark,” while Vilnius production house Artbox co-produced “The Forgotten Battle,” which became Netflix’s #1 film for autumn 2021.
Lithuania’s leading production house is Artbox, co-producer of Netflix top-10 title “The Forgotten Battle” and Tribeca winner “January.” Dansu Films and Baltic Film Services lead the country’s production-services sector, having handled Netflix’s “Clark” and HBO’s “Chernobyl” respectively. Vitrina indexes verified Lithuanian production companies with direct contacts and credit histories.
Producer vs. Service Company
Lithuania’s international reputation was built almost entirely on production-services work, companies executing another studio’s shoot on Lithuanian soil, rather than originating creative producers. That distinction matters for a buyer: a service company like the two Vilnius firms detailed below is the right partner if you already have a project and need Lithuanian crews, locations, and incentive access. A creative producer like Artbox is the right partner if you’re looking for a Lithuanian company to originate, co-finance, or creatively shape a project from the ground up. Conflating the two leads to mismatched expectations on both sides.
Key Stat
Lithuania’s film tax incentive drew €25.6 million in qualifying investment in 2025, up roughly 42% from 2024 and about 22% above 2023 (Cineuropa, 2025). That’s meaningful acceleration for a market of Lithuania’s size, and it tracks with a broader pattern of international productions treating the Baltics as a cost-competitive alternative to Western European shoot locations.
Full Directory
Artbox, founded in 2003 by Kęstutis Drazdauskas, co-produced Netflix’s “The Forgotten Battle,” which ranked #1 on Netflix during autumn 2021, and “January,” a Latvia-Lithuania-Poland co-production that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won the festival’s award for best international narrative feature, per Tribeca’s own 2022 announcement. Baltic Film Services, founded in 2004, has serviced HBO’s “Chernobyl” (winner of 10 Emmy Awards in 2019), HBO/Sky’s “Catherine the Great,” Netflix’s “The Last Czars,” and the BBC’s “War and Peace.” Dansu Films serviced the Lithuania shoot for Netflix’s “Clark,” a Scandinavian Content Group production, spending roughly €5 million locally on what the company described as the largest project in its history.
Why the Baltics Keep Winning Service Work
Lithuania’s pull as a service destination isn’t an accident of geography alone. A private-investment tax offset structured the way Lithuania’s is means local companies have a direct financial incentive to court international productions, since the tax benefit only materializes if they actually invest in a qualifying shoot. That aligns local capital with international demand in a way a passive government rebate rarely manages, and it helps explain why a market Lithuania’s size has landed prestige HBO and Netflix work rather than only smaller regional productions. The tradeoff is that Lithuania’s own creative-production bench, companies originating and owning projects rather than executing someone else’s, remains thin, with Artbox as close to a flagship example as the market currently offers.
For a producer weighing Lithuania against other Central and Eastern European options, the practical filter is simple: if the project already has financing secured and needs a full-service local partner for the shoot itself, the market’s two established service companies are the stronger picks given their HBO and Netflix track records. If the project needs a Lithuanian company to help originate or co-finance from an earlier stage, Artbox’s Tribeca and Netflix top-10 credits make it the stronger starting conversation.

The Bottom Line on Sourcing in Lithuania
Lithuania’s real strength is production-services capacity backed by a genuine, growing tax incentive, not a deep bench of originating creative producers. Match your search accordingly: the market’s established service companies for execution on an existing project, Artbox if you need a Lithuanian creative partner. Budget the incentive as a tax offset against local investment, not a straightforward cash rebate. For related directories, see our Europe directory.
