The cinema of Spain, or Spanish cinema, comprises the film industry and its film productions, whether made within Spain or by Spanish film production companies abroad.
Only a portion of box office sales in Spain are generated by domestic films. The different Spanish governments have therefore implemented measures aimed at supporting local film production and the movie theaters, which currently include the assurance of funding from the main television broadcasters. Nowadays, the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts (ICAA) is the State agency in charge of regulating the allocation of public funds to the domestic film industry.
