Mexico is the fourth-largest audiovisual market in the world, ranking fourth in number of screens and box office revenue, making it a top-priority destination for Spain. Furthermore, Mexico has shown strong growth in co-productions: 70% of the 90 films co-produced with third countries were made in the last five years, with Spain being its most frequent partner. A bilateral co-production agreement between the two countries has also been in place for over twenty years.
Although the event was held in Mexico City, the Madrid Region plays a key role as the epicenter of Spain’s cultural industry. Many of the participating Spanish production companies (39 Escalones, 59 en conserva, Grupo Ganga, Movistar+, Mediacrest, MLK Producciones…) are based in the Madrid Region.
The Madrid Region, through streaming platforms such as Robot Dreams, Luck or Spellbound, offers training for Mexican companies that aspire to expand. It also favours direct access to Spanish talent and funding, as there is a real interest in co-producing and distributing socio-cultural, fiction and documentary projects.
This contributes to technological and economic development while maintaining cultural diversity and supporting new creators. On the website of the Madrid Region. Audiovisual industry you can find calls for proposals aimed at the audiovisual and film sector together with the description, participation requirements and required documentation.
The Mexico-Spain Cultural Meetings foster audiovisual collaboration and position the Madrid Region as a strategic cultural and economic hub. The region offers a robust ecosystem of business support, funding, and international visibility—key elements for Mexican cultural companies looking to form lasting partnerships and access the European market.
