Motion Pictures, S.A.

The company was founded in 1977 by its president Enrique Uviedo Herrera. The first activities of the company were the production of low-budget films while working in the productions of Italian, American, and British filmmakers who came to shoot in Spain.

In the early 1980s, Motion Pictures began to buy broadcasting rights, primarily video and television. Coinciding with the end of the video boom in the early 1990s, the company began to buy American film catalogs for television distribution, with titles such as Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, The Return of the Jedi, Apocalypse Now, and Tucker.

Alongside this films' acquisition policy was resumed the production of Spanish films, including Historias de la puta mili, sold in over forty countries. In addition, a series with the same title was produced for Tele 5, which won the “Ondas” Award in 1995 - Best Fiction Series of the Year.

Motion Pictures has had an extended catalog of animated shows. For more than 20 years, it has brought notable series to Spain, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Inspector Gadget, The Smurfs, Calimero, and Dennis the Menace.

Motion Pictures has heavily invested for the sales of international rights and is now available in international markets such as NATPE, Foorum TV, Los Angeles Screenings, MIPTV, Latin American Screens, and the MIPCOM.
