Film Funds for the audiovisual sector in Madrid

The Community of Madrid bolsters the film and audiovisual industry by offering a a call for proposals to support the production of short and feature films, the development of audiovisual projects, support for film-related activities and the development of video game projects.

The aim of these calls for proposals for the audiovisual sector is to contribute to the economic and technological development of the industry while maintaining cultural diversity and supporting new creators.

The Community of Madrid grants this aid to audiovisual projects for their development as feature films or series, including fiction, documentary or animation, and which will subsequently become an audiovisual work for public release in cinemas, television or digital platforms. This subsidy is intended to cover expenses for carrying out the activities necessary to produce the audiovisual work prior to filming or production.

The Community of Madrid also grants aids for creative activities in the development of video game projects (creation, design and programming) at the prototype stage, aimed at micro and small companies with the capacity to work in the field of video game creation and development (IT, programmer, computer design or similar).

The Community of Madrid supports different private non-profit cultural entities, registered in the regional or national registry for at least two years, by means of grants for film-related activities. The subsidised activity must be carried out within the territory of the Community of Madrid.

The purpose of this call for proposals is to provide support to the production of feature films which are at the project stage and created by first-time directors (a director who has not directed or co-directed more than two feature films classified for commercial release).

The Community of Madrid supports the production of short films, including fiction, animation and documentary short films for public release through a programme of grants.
