The Movie Menu GmbH was founded in July last year. We are developing an international VideoOnDemand service, that entirely focuses on arthouse films.

We will launch the website in the first quarter of 2011 and will follow this with the release of an Ipad App, the Movie Menu Magazine, soon after.

What’s special about us?

Watching arthouse movies has been mostly the privilege of urbanites and night owles (midnight TV). We however want people to be able to watch arthouse movies for the first time anytime, anywhere and on any device! Thereby creating a new generation of cinephiles across the globe, reaching an audience many times bigger than ever thought possible by means of the existing, narrow and fragmented, distribution channels.

Unlike the video rental store, where you end up standing undecided in front of the shelf, we don’t want to present our films again on a virtual shelf (with a film poster the size of a thumbnail and three lines of synopsis), but like the courses on the menu of a fabulous restaurant – it’s short, and the courses and ingredients change from season to season. You take a seat, you are full of anticipation, waiting to be surprised. And having tried one film, you want to try the next one!
