Comunidad Filmin S.L., doing business as Filmin, is a Spanish subscription video on demand streaming service, primarily dedicated to streaming independent films, as well as a production company and film distributor. The company headquarters is located in Barcelona. [1]
Founded by Juan Carlos Tous, José Antonio De Luna and Jaume Ripoll, [2] [1] the company was created in 2007. [3] The platform partnered with distribution companies such as Golem, Tornasol, Wanda, El Deseo, Continental, Vértigo, and—later—Avalon. [2] Owing to the special authorization from the ICAA, Tiro en la cabeza became the first Spanish film simultaneously released in theatres and online (on Filmin) in 2008. [3] [4] The pay-subscription service began in 2010. [3]
In 2020 the investment funds Nazca Capital and Seaya Ventures (stakeholder in Cabify and Glovo) acquired a 51% of the company shares. [5] [6] As of 2021, the platform had 15,000 titles, most of them consisting of European films (65%). [1]
The platform released its first original series, Doctor Portuondo, in October 2021. [7] As of April 2023, it has released other two original series: Autodefensa and Selftape. [8]
