Founded in 2015 by Cédric Klapisch and Laurent Cantet, LaCinetek is a French video-on-demand platform dedicated to the great classics of the 20th century. A gem for true cinema lovers.
A very varied catalog
LaCinetek offers a catalog with more than 1400 films, including many classics, as well as unreleased works and rare gems. The available films come from all over the world – ideal for discovering films other than Hollywood productions – and were all made before 2005. Finally, all types of films are available – feature films, short films, documentaries, animated films… which contributes to the great richness of the catalog.
The filmmakers’ cinematheque
One of the unique features of the platform is offering works selected by filmmakers. Each month, a director offers a list of 50 films based on their “ideal cinematheque,” which are then added to the catalog. Thus, LaCinetek is a platform for cinema lovers, by cinema lovers.
The selection of the month
The platform offers a monthly subscription to the “selection of the month”: a list of 10 films around the same theme, renewed every tenth of the month. This month, the selected films are centered around the theme “Occult.”
LaCinetek is an excellent alternative for those dissatisfied with the much more mainstream catalogs of platforms such as Netflix or OCS. The prices offered are also much more interesting: €2.99 for renting a film, €7.99 for a purchase, and only €2.99 for a monthly subscription.
Born from a “dream of filmmakers and cinephiles,” this video-on-demand platform is ideal for those who want to discover cinema, for those searching for hidden treasures or looking for a good classic. LaCinetek is made for those who simply love cinema.
