El Espejismo de la Sobreproducción en el Cine Español: Análisis Crítico de las Políticas Audiovisuales y su Impacto. VISUAL REVIEW. International Visual Culture Review / Revista Internacional de Cultura Visual, 17(6), 145-160. https://doi.org/10.62161/revvisual.v17.59612695-9631https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16520Despite a stable market share, Spanish cinema experiences an overproduction that threatens its competitiveness. Through a comparative analysis of production, boxoffice, and genre data, this study demonstrates a critical gap between audiovisual promotion policies and market demand. Public subsidies are concentrated on genres with limited commercial appeal, overlooking the proven success of animation, thrillers, and comedies. It is concluded that the system must be urgently reformed, redistributing resources towards fewer productions with greater commercial viability to strengthen the sustainability of the industry.engAttribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/journal article10.62161/revvisual.v17.5961open accessComunicaciónIndustria cinematográficaPolítica y planificación de la culturaGoal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for allGoal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patternsGoal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
