Elastica Films, or simply Elastica, is a Spanish film production and distribution company based in Valencia.
History
[edit]Elastica Films was founded in 2021 in Valencia by producer María Zamora and distributor Enrique Costa, who had both previously worked in the Madrid-based company Avalon.[1] In the wake of the amiable nature of the split with Avalon, Elastica has since collaborated with the latter in films such as Alcarràs and Matria.[2][1]
Elastica was the main producer behind Golden Bear winner Alcarràs (2022).[3] Other titles developed by the company include The Rye Horn, Creatura, Salve Maria, The Red Virgin, and Romería.[3] As a distributor, some of the company largest box-office releases in Spain have included Triangle of Sadness (€1.12 million), Anatomy of a Fall (€2.5 million), Alcarràs (€2.36 million), The Substance (3.6 million), Emilia Pérez (€1.84 million), The Zone of Interest (€1.3 million), and The Worst Person in the World (€900.000),[4] and Backrooms (over €1.7 million).[5]
On 12 June 2026, Filmin signed an agreement to acquire Elastica's acquisitions and distribution operations; the two companies remain autonomous, with their teams set to work together on acquisitions. The deal gives Filmin exclusive streaming rights to high-profile titles that Elastica acquires, although other windows for the company's titles continue to be negotiated separately and existing deals for certain films remain in place.[5][6]
