EGEDA requested and was granted aid from FORCEM, "The Institute of Continuous Training" (Instituto para la Formación Continua) which it has allocated to running a variety of courses, offered preferentially to the employees of companies associated to EGEDA and FAPAE, but also for those of other companies within the audiovisual sector. Training commenced in December 1998, and the course on "Audiovisual Production Management", given by Media Business School, was of particularly high quality.

In the year 2000 two further courses were held: "The pillars of teamwork" (20-21 October) and "First-aid" (13 December).

In 2002 three courses were delivered: "Audiovisual production and cinematographic works", "The creation of high-productivity teams" and "Motivation and teamwork".

In 2003 three new training programs subsidised by the "Tripartite Foundation for On-the-Job Training" (la Fundación Tripartita para la Formación en el Empleo) (formerly FORCEM).

In 1996, EGEDA created the José María Forqué Film Award for Spanish cinema production, in honour of memory of one of the fundamental figures in Spanish cinema, founder and first president of EGEDA; also with the intention of raising awareness about the importance of film producers and the audiovisual industry in general. The prize is awarded to the best Spanish production of the previous year, elected by all the Spanish producers who are EGEDA members, by a two-stage secret ballot in the presence of a notary.

The José María Forqué Cinema Award includes prize money of 30,050 euros.

On the occasion of the first award ceremony, in April 1996, the prize was given to the film "Nobody Will Speak of Us When We’re Dead" (Nadie hablará de nosotras cuando hayamos muerto), directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes and produced by Flamenco Films and Xaloc.

On the second, held in April 1997, the award went to the feature-length film "Thesis" (Tesis), directed by Alejandro Amenábar and produced by Las Producciones del Escorpión.

In April 1998, the third event was held, and the award-winning work was "Lucky Star" (La buena estrella), directed by Ricardo Franco and produced by Pedro Costa P.C. and Enrique Cerezo P.C.

For the fourth ceremony, held in May 1999, an innovation was introduced in the form of a two-stage voting system: In the first, five finalists were chosen and, in the second, the winning film amongst these. The five films initially selected that year were: "The Grandfather" (El abuelo), "The Lovers of the Arctic Circle" (Los amantes del círculo Polar), "Barrio", "The Girl of Your Dreams" (La niña de tus ojos) and "Tango". The work chosen for the prize was "Barrio", directed by Fernando León de Aranoa and produced by Elías Querejeta P.C. and Sogetel.

On the fifth year, the award ceremony took place in May 2000, and the finalists were: "Flowers from Another World" (Flores de otro mundo), "Goya in Bordeaux" (Goya en Burdeos), "Butterfly" (La lengua de las mariposas), "Alone" (Solas) y "All About My Mother" (Todo sobre mi madre). The prize was awarded to "Alone" (Solas), directed by Benito Zambrano and produced by Maestranza Films, S.L.

The sixth ceremony took place in May 2001, and on this occasion the EGEDA members, in the first vote, chose 6 films as finalists (the fifth selection resulted in a draw): "Pellet" (El Bola), "Common Wealth" (La Comunidad), "The Back of the World" (La espalda del mundo), "Leo", "I Know Who You Are" (Sé quién eres) and "You’re the One". The second vote was in favour of "Pellet" (El Bola), directed by Achero Mañas and produced by Tesela Producciones. As usual, presiding over the ceremony and giving the prize was the Minister of Education, Culture and Sport, Pilar del Castillo. The awards ceremony this time received support and coverage from Televisión Española.

The seventh event was held in April 2002. There were four finalists, as the first vote resulted in a multiple draw for fifth place and, in accordance with the Regulations of the Award, the films which tied were disqualified. Therefore, the finalists were: "En Construcción", "Son of the Bride" (El hijo de la novia), "Juana la Loca" and "The Others" (Los otros). In the second vote the film "En Construcción" was selected as the winner; this was directed by José Luis Guerín and produced by OVIDEO. The awards ceremony was held in the Royal Theatre, (Madrid) and presiding over it was the State Secretary of Culture, D. Luis Alberto de Cuenca. The prize was given by Marisa Paredes, President of the Academia de Cine. The event was sponsored by the ICAA and TVE, and also collaborating were Sony, Mercedes Benz, Mahou and Kodak.

Every year, the Department of Distribution and Documentation (EGEDA), based on the information it receives about broadcasts on national, regional, digital and foreign channels, refines and studies these data and analyses the behaviour of the various television channels with regard to scheduling audiovisual works, in order to carry out royalties distribution.

Launched in 1996, to date various reports have been issued, containing information of great interest to producers about the policies followed by TV channels concerning the scheduling of audiovisual works. The circulation of these reports was restricted to EGEDA members, and to a few audiovisual sector institutions.

Given the great interest this report aroused and despite its limited distribution at that time, only extracts being published in the national and regional press –El Mundo, ABC, El País, La Razón, Diario 16, La Vanguardia, El Faro de Vigo, Diario de Navarra, and others–, EGEDA decided to go one step further and publish the Audiovisual Panorama with increased circulation, with the support of the ICAA

The edition Audiovisual Panorama 2001 included an initial tentative qualitative analysis as well as the usual quantitative studies –with regard to the year 2000– on film broadcasts, fiction series, documentaries and cartoons; on audience ratings, television consumption in Spain and throughout Europe, on the Spanish film market and on the broadcasting of Spanish audiovisual works on foreign channels.

The next edition, Audiovisual Panorama 2002, took this type of analysis further, establishing comparisons between the new 2001 data and those of 1999 and 2000. Furthermore, it included a specific study "Special Dossier on TV movies" at the end of the report.

In Audiovisual Panorama 2003, the qualitative analysis was more profound, making comparisons between the current and the previous three years, and adding chapters on the film market within international television, a panorama of tendencies in contents and advertising, and new technological developments in production and broadcasting of audiovisual material. The report ended with a "Special dossier on fiction series".

Audiovisual Panorama 2004 followed along the same lines, broadening its analysis of local TV stations and digital channels, concluding with a Special Dossier on the production of animated films in Spain.

Audiovisual Panorama 2005 continued and expanded on the presentation method an analysis of the 2004 edition, and ended with a Special Dossier on documentaries.

Audiovisual Panorama 2005 contained some new features with respect to previous editions. One of these is the inclusion of six “opinion articles” written by well-known audiovisual industry professionals as introductions to some of the main chapters of the work. The special dossier used as a concluding piece each year was devoted to an analysis of the documentary in Spain, one of the genres becoming increasingly popular in our country.

Audiovisual Panorama 2006 retains the traditional chapters on television audiences, films, fiction and cartoons on national television, Spanish cinema in international markets, the international television market, technological advances in the production and broadcasting of audiovisual content and audiovisual legislation in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. It included six signed articles of qualitative analysis of television audiences, film markets, fiction, animation and documentary on national television, as well as a final commentary about the resulting conclusions. The special dossier discussed international Spanish co-productions 2002-2005.

By accessing the EGEDA web page, producers can directly consult the broadcasting of their works on television - both on Spanish and foreign channels, their royalties payments, monitor their cinema box-office takings, and find a variety of information about EGEDA’s activities.

For further information: EGEDA (IT Department)

The EGEDA members receive this personalised information concerning over ninety foreign channels on a monthly basis. The system allows us to detect a large quantity of broadcasts on national and regional channels throughout Europe, the USA, Latin America and Oceania, which were formerly made without the knowledge or authorisation of Spanish producers, which happens quite frequently in the case of international co-productions.
