Filmfriend.de: The VoD service for library members - all info

The classic TV program is increasingly being replaced by online offerings. In addition to the mainstream, niches are emerging there, some of which are filled with high-quality content. Filmfriend.de is the best example of this.

Handpicked selection: There is a curated offering of around 1,500 titles on Filmfriend.

Global players like Netflix and Amazon Prime dominate the market. However, due to demand, there is still plenty of room for other providers, such as Filmfriend.

Filmfriend.de: Online entry with library card

According to its own titles, there are over 1,500 titles on filmfriend.de.

• On the platform you will find a selection of films and documentaries, often with indie or arthouse character. The offer is curated to ensure high quality.
• The platform is completely free, there is no purchase or rental content, nor a monthly subscription. Nevertheless, there is an access hurdle: you need a valid library card, as Filmfriend is managed by libraries in Germany and Switzerland.
• Unfortunately, not every card allows entry to the video library. You can find a listing here.

Filmfriend is currently quite popular and makes it beyond the division of indie fans, as films with well-known actors are also represented in large numbers. Einen Blick ist das Angebot in jedem Fall wert und falls deswegen eine Anmeldung in einer Bibliothek erfolgt, soll das den Betreibern nur recht sein.
