kinoora’s catalogue is huge and varied, and it’s the kind of curated space where filmmakers and audiences can really discover work that resonates. I got involved because kinoora felt like the right home to help my short films find a bigger audience. There is so much variety and it’s exciting to be part of something that celebrates independent voices.

It’s the perfect alternative to the mainstream industry for both filmmakers and audiences who value authentic, independent storytelling. I joined Kinoora seeking a home for my raw, 'guerrilla' documentary style and found a vibrant community of passionate artists. The warm welcome I’ve received truly motivates me to share my work here.

We wanted to join kinoora because we like the idea of an international independent stream service that does not follow the algorithms of always the same same.

I love kinoora's discovery feed. Gone are the days of endless browsing just to watch something I have seen a million times already. Scrolling through the trailers feels like being in the cinema, getting hyped about all the teasers you see.

I chose kinoora because I believe it can help my films reach a wider audience across Europe. I truly believe Kinoora can become a space where filmmakers and audiences connect directly, forming a genuine and beautiful bond. Filmmakers and storytellers have always faced one of the biggest challenges — finding the funds to bring their visions to life. We struggle to share our stories with the world. I hope it helps us find investors who believe in our projects, so together we can keep dreaming and sharing meaningful stories that touch hearts, heal souls, and resonate deeply with everyone who experiences them.

Frequently Asked Questions

kinoora is a social streaming ecosystem designed for indie films, series, documentaries, and shorts. We bridge the gap between watching and engaging by connecting filmmakers and viewers in a fair, creative community that values original storytelling above all else.
kinoora is for those who crave unique stories outside the mainstream. We are built for true cinephiles who value art and for filmmakers who are fed up with the industry's status quo. If you value creative freedom and authentic connection, you belong here.
We focus exclusively on cinematic, narrative storytelling. Our platform is dedicated to authentic independent feature films, episodic series, compelling documentaries, and innovative shorts. You won't find generic influencer content, daily vlogs, or tutorials here—just pure, high-quality cinema.
It’s both. We are a premium streaming ecosystem where community interaction through direct messages, filmmaker profiles, dedicated filmmaker news feeds, rating & review systems and a TikTok style discovery feed for trailers is just as important as the movie player itself. It’s a place to watch great art and discuss it with the people who made it. It is streaming, but social.
It means your voice matters. Beyond just watching, you can follow filmmakers to stay updated on their news feeds, message your favorite indie filmmakers directly, and influence the community through ratings and reviews. We will be integrating further features like dedicated groups, live Q&As, and watch-parties in the coming months. Our goal is to become the number 1 place to watch and discuss indie films & series
Say goodbye to 'infinite browsing' for 20+ minutes. Our 16:9 high-fidelity trailer feed brings the movie theater experience to your device. Our system learns your preferences through genuine interactions, not biased algorithms. Find something you like? Start watching right away or add hidden gems to your watchlist for later. Interact directly with trailers through likes & comments and dive into filmmaker profiles with a single tap. Want to have full control over what you see? Customize your feed by genre, language, ratings and format or choose between pre-defined sections (Newest, Most liked, Following) for quick and easy access to our library of authentic and original indie films & series.
kinoora keeps a complete record of your film history and the impact you've made. Your personal dashboard shows total watch-time stats, an overview of every film or series you've discovered & watched, and a history of every rating you've given. It’s a living archive of your personal support for independent storytelling.
On kinoora, your view is a direct investment. We share up to 70% of subscription and rental revenue directly with indie filmmakers. By cutting out traditional middlemen like distributors and sales agents, we ensure filmmakers earn more while staying in full control of their work. Want to show your appreciation even further? You can directly donate to any filmmaker to support their next production.
You can sign up for free to explore our discovery feed and trailers. To unlock full films, use social features like direct messaging, or access 'Film Pages' with BTS footage and deleted scenes, you can either subscribe or rent individual titles.
Absolutely not. kinoora provides a 100% ad-free premium viewing experience. We believe that art should be uninterrupted. Whether you are browsing the free discovery feed, renting a feature, or watching on a premium subscription, you will never be interrupted by a commercial.
Extremely easy. We don't believe in holding our viewers hostage with hidden fees or long-term contracts. You can cancel your paid subscription at any time with a single click in your account settings, and you will retain your premium access until the end of your current billing cycle.
kinoora is currently live and available to viewers in the UK, EU, Norway, and Switzerland. We are actively working on expanding to North America and further regions throughout 2026 to bring indie cinema to a truly global audience.
Yes. kinoora is available on web browsers and mobile apps for iOS and Android. You can currently cast to your TV via Chromecast or AirPlay, with a dedicated Smart TV app scheduled for later in 2026.
kinoora is a global platform! However, because we champion filmmaker independence, creators retain 100% of their distribution rights. This means a filmmaker may choose to geo-block their film in specific countries if they have pre-existing regional licensing deals. The vast majority of our catalog, however, is available worldwide.
Yes! Independent cinema is global. We support custom subtitles and AI-generated closed captions for films in multiple languages. You can also filter the Discovery Feed to only show titles available in your preferred languages.
We are fighting against gatekeeping; we believe every niche story deserves an audience. While we don't 'curate' based on story preference, every film goes through a strict human moderation process to ensure it meets our technical standards for high audio/video quality and adheres to legal and copyright compliance.
We champion absolute creative freedom, which means we host unrated, edgy, and mature indie cinema. However, safety is our top priority. To protect our community and comply with global safety standards, any content rated 18+ requires viewers to pass a quick, highly secure, privacy-preserving age verification step before watching.
