Spanish Cinema

To this end, the program is based on two strategic lines of work: strengthening the collaboration with American institutions and entities for the presentation of seasons, festivals and programs dedicated to Spanish cinema; and promoting the presence of Spanish directors at festivals in the country, facilitating their mobility.
