History
editThrough the Law 50/1984 of 30 December 1984,[3] the ICAA was created in 1985.[4] In 1986, Fernando Méndez-Leite replaced Pilar Miró at the helm of the ICAA.[5] Miguel Marías became the director general in 1988,[6] whereas Enrique Balmaseda served as head from 1990 to 1992.[7]
Role
editThe ICAA manages the subsidies to the film industry provided by the General State Budget. It is charged with ensuring free competition in the audiovisual sector.[8] The institute is also tasked with encouraging cooperation with similar bodies from other countries as well as with cooperating with the regional administrations of the different autonomous communities.[9] It also assumes the function of the "safeguarding and dissemination of Spanish film heritage" by preserving copies of films, music, scripts and posters.[10]
