The Spanish audiovisual industry is expanding its footprint in Asia.

ICEX and the Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales have joined forces to present a comprehensive program at the Shanghai International Film & TV Market 2026, one of the continent's most strategic hubs for international distribution and co-production.

This institutional delegation highlights the diversity of contemporary Spanish cinema while driving key business opportunities through dedicated commercial initiatives.

The main pillars of the Spanish delegation include:
🏆 Golden Goblets Official Selection: Three Spanish projects are competing in the festival's official categories: Benigno \(Documentary\), Winnipeg, Seed of Hope \(Animation\), and Unplug \(Short Film\).

📽️ Focus Spain: A curated showcase highlighting the quality and global appeal of recent Spanish cinema, featuring market screenings of The Dinner, Sundays, Calle Málaga, and The Good Daughter.

💼 Shanghai Remakes: A key commercial initiative designed to export Spanish intellectual property. Prominent companies such as Begin Again Films, Cinema Republic, Latido Films, and MOD Producciones will pitch acclaimed titles like The Platform, Rosa's Wedding, When you no longer love me, and Two Many Chefs to international buyers and Asian streaming platforms.

🤝 Market & Industry: Dedicated institutional sessions to promote Spain’s competitive advantages, public support frameworks, and premier locations to position the country as a top-tier destination for international shootings.

By building bridges with the Asian market, Spain reinforces its commitment to cross-border collaboration and the global scaling of its creative industries.
