All the national televisions and the digital television operators are located in Madrid. The two film laboratories with the highest production are located in this city; the biggest enterprises for renting equipment have their central offices in our city. Madrid has an "Image City" where most of the audiovisual enterprises are settled. Because of all that, the 70% of the present production, both in video, television and film is made in Madrid or by enterprises from Madrid.
During the last few years more than 100 films have been produced in Spain, but besides, important international audiovisual productions were made, with professionals and enterprises from Madrid doing most of it.
