On 26 October 1990 a Co-Production Agreement was signed between Spain and the Soviet Union. It entered into force on 8 October 1991. After the dissolution of the USSR, it keeps on being maintained in force between Spain and the Russian Federation.

The Agreement applies to all cinematographic works (feature, animation, documentary) irrespective of their length or medium. The film makers must be Spaniards or Russians or resident in the respective country. Multilateral co-productions are possible with producers from third countries being linked to Spain or Russia by a co-production agreement.

Financial participation shall be at least 20% of the total cost of the film, even in the case of multilateral co-productions.
