Cinema exhibition halls: 6-month window to apply for grants for people aged 65+

Royal Decree 400/2026 establishes a direct grant scheme for cinema exhibition halls to promote access to film for people aged 65 or over during 2026-2027. It is based on Article 67 of Royal Decree 887/2006 and Article 22.2.c) of Law 38/2003. Applications must be submitted within six months of the decree coming into force, although the text does not specify the exact submission date.

In 2 key points

  1. Grants for cinema exhibition halls for people aged 65 or over (art. 67 del Real Decreto 887/2006)
  2. Six-month deadline to submit applications from the date of entry into force (art. 22.2.c) de la Ley 38/2003)

How it affects those involved

For cinema exhibition halls, a new funding opportunity is available to encourage film access for older people. Cultural administrations may channel resources towards this objective. Cultural advisors should inform their clients about the possibility of applying for grants and verify whether they meet the eligibility criteria. Halls that fail to submit their application within the deadline may miss the opportunity to receive funding.
