Spanish fiction continues to be a benchmark in the main international markets and festivals, while the industry maintains a dynamic pace of production in terms of new projects.  

A pioneering producer in fiction series co-production, Portocabo has been determined to seek out international partnerships to promote more ambitious projects. Alfonso Blanco, the company's founder, explains the advantages of his approach.

Spanish Screenings XXL, the ambitious international market platform, is heading into an intense fall with two of its events—Spanish Screenings Financing & Tech and Spanish Screenings on Tour—taking place close to each other in the calendar, as part of the San Sebastian Film Festival and the MIA market in Rome, respectively, in its aim to globally promote our industry.

The international prominence of Spanish animation cinema is reaching unprecedented heights, not only due to recent spectacular international sales results or global box office performance, but also because of growing interest among programmers at major festivals.

In the current effervescence of the filming industry in Spain, it is worth mentioning the influence of cinema advertising, which has contributed significantly to its development.

The Spanish animation and VFX sector is thriving. On its way to becoming a consolidated global leader, Spain is increasingly attracting top international companies that come to invest in local talent and resources.

As platforms have reached new heights and record-breaking tax incentives for both local and international shoots have grown, there has been a huge demand for production facilities in Spain.

After succeeding on the international market with fiction, Spanish production continues to expand its presence abroad through non-fiction content. Some entertainment formats such as El Conquistador have already been broadcast on free-to-air TV channels in Latin America. Formats such as the docu-reality El Puente, born on pay TV, are also traveling.
