Established in 2006 and launched online in 2010, filimin has swiftly solidified its position in the burgeoning video-on-demand arena as one of the most innovative and forward-thinking services, offering a wealth of movies and short films to the Spanish audience. Viewers can watch films online and through a variety of mediums including Samsung Smart TV, Sony’s PlayStation 3, Android, iPhone and iPad.

TLA Releasing’s catalogue will become available on filmin.es from January 2013, launching with a selection of titles including dark gay drama Strapped, award-winning comedy Spork and JC Calciano’s hit rom-com Is It Just Me?

Derek Curl, TLA Releasing President, said of the deal: “We feel privileged to be joining filmin’s established roster which features the very best in independent film. We are always looking for ways to bring our films to a wider audience and filmin provides the perfect platform, offering an unrivalled service.”

filmin Editorial Director Jaume Ripoll Vaquer added: “This agreement will allow Spanish audiences to discover some of the most interesting LGBT movies made during the last decade, most of them unfortunately never released in our country until now.”
