By Spanish Resolution of 11th December 2008 (Spanish Official Gazette from 7th January 2009), of the Spanish Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, the call for proposals is underway for subsidies supporting the production of short films and for short films already made in accordance with Article 12 of Real Decreto 526/2002, de 14 de junio [Spanish royal decree 526/2002, of 14th June].
2,000,000 euros is set aside for these subsidies, attributable to the available credit in the budget allocation of 24,101,470 to the Fondo de Proteccion a la Cinematografia, del programa 335C, Cinematografia [Cinematographic Protection Fund of Programme 335C, Cinematography], from the expenses budget of the Institute for 2009.
Having received a high number of applications during the first phase of the call for proposals, an increase was made in the amount reserved for these subsidies with the goal of there being sufficient to achieve the final aim of encouraging the production of quality short films at competitive costs.
