SAMAN

SAMANSA is a Tokyo-based global short film streaming platform founded in 2021, offering a curated SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand) service delivering high-quality short films from around the world. The platform specializes in content ranging from 1 to 35 minutes in length — designed for viewers who want rich cinematic experiences during commutes, breaks, or everyday moments. SAMANSA works directly with licensors and filmmakers across international markets including Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia, fostering a transparent and mutually beneficial ecosystem for creators. The service features 500+ handpicked films including Academy Award-winning works, with new titles added weekly. SAMANSA has expanded beyond streaming to produce original content, secure airline partnerships (ANA in-flight content from January 2026), and was adopted under Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry IP360 content industry growth program. The company also offers corporate B2B services and actively seeks scripts and films from creators worldwide.
