AVALON PRODUCTORA CINEMATOGRÁFICA belongs to the group AVALON. It was created in 2007 in order to divide work being carried out in different areas of the audiovisual sector by Avalon Productions, a company founded in 1996 by Stefan Schmitz.
AVALON P.C. has produced over 20 feature films and countless short films that have competed in festivals like Cannes, Berlinale, San Sebastian, Rotterdam or Malaga, having been awarded at many of them. The company has always shown special interest in new talent and original approaches to filmmaking. Over the last 26 years we have been working with directors like Javier Rebollo, Beatriz Sanchís, León Siminiani, Federico Veiroj, Nely Reguera, Carla Simón, Carlos Marqués Marcet, Liliana Torres, Clara Roquet, Ana Cebrián or Ian de la Rosa. Most projects are European or Latin American coproductions.
Clara Roquet's debut feature, "Libertad", premiered at Cannes Critics' Week in 2021 and winner of 2 Goya Awards and 4 Gaudí Awards. “Alcarràs”, the second feature film by Carla Simón, which won the prestigious Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival in 2022 and whose premiere in Spanish theaters has been a smash hit, accumulating more than 370,000 spectators. Her feature debut “Summer 1993”, also awarded in Berlin and winner of 3 Goya Awards, was also co-produced by AVALON.
Right now, the production company is immersed in the development of projects with Paula Ortiz, Elena Martín, Álvaro Gago, Ian de la Rosa, Ana Asensio, or Marta Nieto, among others.
AVALON also made a leap into the world of the series with the Netflix Original’s limited series “Someone Has to Die” by director Manolo Caro (“The House of Flowers”), released in the fall of 2020. This collaboration has continued with the filming of “Once Upon a Time… Happily Never After”, a musical comedy, which was released by Netflix in March of this year; as well as “Sagrada Familia”, to be released. In addition, AVALON has not stopped developing content for streaming services and television that may soon be announced.
In 2011, we became a shareholder in Filmin, Spain’s leading streamer for independent cinema. The company or its CEA are a member of the Europa Distribution Network, EPC, the European and the Spanish Film Academy, ADICINE, AMA and AECINE.
