Abstract
The barriers which exist for European cinema distribution - problems with international distribution, and different practices of audiovisual translation - have a great impact in films produced in European minority languages, meaning that they find it hard to compete with larger-scale productions. Although minority and regional languages are protected by EU legislation and diversity is a key element in the Union's narrative, audiovisual policies do not directly address this protection. This article examines legislation connected with minority languages, on the one hand, and cinema, on the other, and presents a case study on the film produced in Galician O que arde (Oliver Laxe, 2019) to analyse the challenges that small cinemas face in the Digital Single Market.
