Cinema halls to apply for subsidies for 65+ audiences by June 2026

Royal Decree 400/2026 offers direct grants to cinema halls to promote access for people aged 65 and over during 2026-2027, based on articles 67 of Royal Decree 887/2006 and 22.2.c) of Law 38/2003. Applications must be submitted within six months of the decree's entry into force, though the exact start date is not specified.

In 2 key points

  1. Subsidy applications for cinema venues to support public access for people aged 65 and over (art. 67 R.D. 887/2006)
  2. Three-month deadline for submission from the date of entry into force (art. 2.2)

How it affects those involved

Subsidy eligibility depends on timely submission; failure to meet the deadline means loss of funding. Cultural authorities maintain their structure but must ensure compliance with the deadline. Access to cinema for older adults is strengthened by this measure.
