filmin

Filmin is a Spanish on-demand streaming platform and film distributor that specializes in independent, arthouse, and world cinema. It operates as a digital video-on-demand service with a curated catalog of features, documentaries, and short films, often complemented by editorial playlists and thematic collections.

Filmin originated in Spain in the early 2000s as a distribution and catalog platform for independent cinema. It later expanded into online streaming, leveraging licensing agreements with distributors, production companies, and film festivals. The service has targeted Spanish-speaking audiences while expanding its reach through partnerships and regional licensing.

The platform emphasizes non-mainstream cinema, international titles, and works from Europe and Latin America. Its catalog is complemented by subtitles in multiple languages, editorial curations, and film recommendations designed to aid discovery. Filmin supports access across devices, including web browsers and mobile apps for smartphones, tablets, and televisions.

Access to Filmin is primarily in Spain and Portugal, with a subscription model that grants access to a rotating catalog. Some titles may be available for rental or per-title purchase. The service also offers thematic channels or collections that align with genres, festivals, or author directors to facilitate browsing.

Filmin is regarded as a leading platform for arthouse and independent cinema in the Spanish-speaking world. By licensing titles from a range of distributors and producers, it contributes to the visibility and distribution of non-mainstream films and serves as a cultural resource for cinephiles.
