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]
