Filmin is a Spanish-born subscription and transactional video-on-demand platform founded by Juan Carlos Tous, José Antonio de Luna and Jaume Ripoll and headquartered in Barcelona. The service, launched in the late 2000s, specializes in independent, auteur and classic cinema and has built a curated catalogue for cinephile audiences. (en.wikipedia.org)

The company was originally incorporated as Comunidad Filmin, S.L. and grew through partnerships with a number of independent Spanish distributors; it later expanded its market presence into Portugal while remaining primarily Spain‑centric in operations and editorial focus. (es.wikipedia.org)

In November 2020 Nazca Capital (a Spanish private equity firm) acquired a majority stake in Filmin, with Seaya Ventures joining as a minority investor; the acquisition was structured through an investment vehicle (Films NewCo) and the founders retained a minority position. Nazca has been the platform's principal investor since that transaction and has, according to public reporting in 2024–2025, explored strategic sale options while Filmin continued to operate and grow its catalogue and originals slate.

Because Filmin is a digital streaming service rather than a manufactured physical product, its "origin" and operational footprint are best described by its corporate headquarters and market focus (Spain) and the jurisdictions where the service is offered (notably Portugal and broader international licensing agreements). The platform is ultimately majority‑owned by Nazca Capital (Spain) with minority investors including Seaya Ventures and founder shareholders. (comunidadfilmin.com)
