Spanish cinema hits Cannes with momentum. Now comes the market test: turning festival attention into sales deals.

After one of Spain’s strongest Cannes festival selections in years, the country’s sales agents arrive with stronger talking points, but also a tougher market to convince.

February’s European Film Market in Berlin offered a first market take: Buyers are active but cautious, selective and increasingly unwilling to move without proof that a film can travel; genre is moving faster, name auteurs still matter when distributors can picture a theatrical release, and local box office is carrying more weight.
