Abstract
This article explores an overlooked piece of legislation in the history of contemporary Spanish cinema: the so-called Semprún Decree. While the popularly known as Miró Law has been widely studied, the Decree passed by Jorge Semprún in 1989 in his position as Minister of Culture (1988–91) has barely been analysed; this scarcity of historiography is quite surprising, since the Decree was not only designed to change the funding policies established by the Miró Law, but it also set the model for the forthcoming pieces of legislation that had been regulating the Spanish film industry up to the 2000s. Therefore, this article explains the key role that the Semprún Decree had in the reconfiguration of the Spanish film policies of the 1990s by framing it within the wider context of the European film policies of the period.
