Co-production agreements
Between 2013 and 2023, 573 feature films were co-produced with foreign countries.
What are international co-productions?
They are films co-produced with foreign companies, regulated by the applicable international agreements, or, in the absence thereof, by the general norms stipulated in the Film Law Regulations (Law 55/2007, of 28th December on Films).
Why co-produce with Spain?
Co-productions regulated by international agreements are considered national productions, and therefore access to funding is the same as for entirely national productions.
Public funding in Spain
Audiovisual co-productions regulated by international agreements yet which are considered national, are entitled to the following benefits:
- ICAA financial aid for creation, production and promotion purposes.
- Tax deductions for investments in film and audiovisual productions.
