Elastica Films, or simply Elastica, is a Spanish film production and distribution company based in Valencia.

History

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. 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.

Elastica was the main producer behind Golden Bear winner Alcarràs (2022). Other titles developed by the company include The Rye Horn, Creatura, Salve Maria, The Red Virgin, and Romería. 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), and Backrooms (over €1.7 million). In 2026, their release La bola negra grossed more than €34 million and had more than five million admissions.

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.
