Spain, an ex symbol of bullfights, siesta and sangria, started a wonderful business race, which has been well reflected on the film market. The 300% growth in the number of films produced from 1990 to 2004, the 500% growth in co-produced films, the 250% growth on the average budget, are numbers that need not be commented on. Spain’s market evolution owes a lot to a subsidy system that even if it does not reach high contribution levels on one single film, it gives funding to almost all feature films produced in the country.
