About LaCinetek

LaCinetek is the realization of a dream shared by three directors - Pascale Ferran, Cédric Klapisch and Laurent Cantet. After seeing how difficult it was to find the greatest movies in the history of cinema and their lack of availability on VoD, they began to dream up a website dedicated to these movies selected by various directors. Their dream became reality in 2015 and now takes the form of a VoD service which is accessible for the first time on television through the Freebox.
