Your library card gives you convenient, user-friendly access to streaming thousands of films, with around 300 new titles every year!

Users of participating libraries can choose from over 3,500 titles, including award-winning films and series. Search functions and carefully curated collections will help inspire you to discover the right titles, without endless scrolling.

Our selections are clearly laid out so you can find the right content for you. Our kids’ section alone has 35 different collections. Each children’s film is clearly labelled with its FSK rating, as well as an educational age recommendation.

And best of all, filmfriend is free to members of participating libraries in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.

"Filmfriend is in no way inferior to the private providers. The website offers cinema and series for adults and children, with a balanced program."

"In terms of content, filmfriend presents itself like a streaming version of Arte. However, the offer includes many films that are not available in media libraries or streaming services."
