Filmin streaming service

Filmin is a premier European streaming platform that was founded in 2007 with a focus on independent, auteur, and classic cinema. Unlike mainstream global streaming giants, Filmin carved out a niche by offering a highly curated catalog of award-winning films, documentaries, and television series that appeal to cinephiles and cultural enthusiasts.

The service was originally established in Barcelona, Spain, by a group of independent film distributors who sought to create a digital home for high-quality cinema. Over the years, it has expanded its presence to Portugal (as Filmin Portugal) and Mexico (in collaboration with local partners). The platform is celebrated for its integration with major film festivals and its commitment to preserving and digitizing cinematic heritage.

In 2020, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when the investment funds Nazca Capital and Seaya Ventures acquired a majority stake in the company. Despite this transition to institutional investment, the original founders remained involved in the management, ensuring the brand retains its unique identity and dedication to the independent film community.
