CaixaForum+, OTT, starts with more than 564 hours of content created by Mediapro

The team of Mediapro has shaped CaixaForum+, an OTT that offers more than 300 titles, 1,000 video and audio pieces and 564 hours of cultural and scientific dissemination content.

CaixaForum+ was born as a platform willing to “fill a void” in the Spanish audiovisual offer, while aspiring to be a platform “reference” in the cultural world and scientific dissemination in Spanish language.

The ”la Caixa” Foundation started this project in fall 2019 to try to answer a demand for leisure and culture increasingly on our screens. The arrival of the pandemic reinforced this need and served as project accelerator. From the first moment, the institution understood that the platform could not be a mere translation of face-to-face activity to the world digital, but it had to go much further.

Thus, all the content has been designed specifically for your consumption on a screen. Work has been going on for the last three years to create CaixaForum+ by one catalog of unpublished content and, for the most part, exclusive, from the hand of authors such as Fernando Trueba, Blanca Portillo, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Julio Manrique, Soledad Sevilla, Emilio Morenatti, Bernardo Atxaga, Isabel Coixet, Jorge Carrión, Rubén Duro, Carolina Iglesias and Victoria Martín, Santiago Auserón or Rossy de Palma, among others. The offer will be completed with a selection of content from a wide list of collaborators: producers, distributors, museums and national and international cultural institutions.

Themes and access

In the catalog of CaixaForum+ contain contents of both video and audio (podcast) on topics such as visual and plastic arts, performing arts, music, literature, thought and history, cinema, architecture and design, life sciences and physical sciences. These areas will materialize in the form of documentaries, series, outreach programs, concerts, operas, digital art pieces and interviews ranging from two minutes in length to 10 hours, depending on the nature of the format.

The ”la Caixa” Foundation has had Mediapro Group as a technological collaborator in the development of the platform. To access all content, simply necessary to register in the application (available for iOS, Android, web browsers and smart TVs), since subscribing to CaixaForum+ is free.

The project, whose catalog will reach 400 titles in 2023, plans to have in the future some premium content, such as live broadcasts of activities, which may be subject to payment.
