Madrid Approves €1.5 Million Conditional Subsidy for Woody Allen’s Next Film

Payments depend on a 'Madrid' title, recognisable local settings, plus a premiere at Berlinale or a similarly prestigious festival.

Overview

  • The contract, posted by the regional government, structures the subsidy in three instalments: €150,000 in 2025, €600,000 in 2026 and €750,000 in 2027.
  • The film must shoot entirely within the Community of Madrid, with at least 15% of scenes in identifiable outdoor locations in and around the city.
  • The agreement sets a project completion deadline of 31 December 2027, with disbursements tied to production milestones and promotional obligations.
  • Reporting identifies Gravier Production and Spain’s Wanda Vision as production partners, though full financing and casting details have not been finalized.
  • Officials frame the investment as a cine‑tourism strategy to boost Madrid’s global visibility, a decision drawing renewed scrutiny of public backing for Allen.
