Here’s a couple of lesser known ones.
A Video on Demand platform brought to you by Classic, Lido and Cameo Cinemas in Melbourne and Ritz Cinemas in Sydney. These four family-owned cinemas are all part of Moving Story Entertainment, along with the Jewish International Film Festival (JIFF), the Children’s International Film Festival (CHIFF) and Fantastic Film Festival Australia (FFFA).
At Home allows you to bring the spirit of Classic, Lido, Cameo or Ritz with you to your living room, as you watch movies from our carefully curated collections of films from both local and international distributors. We cover everything from new and recent releases to hidden gems from extensive back catalogues, with some premium content that we’re proud to say is exclusive to this platform.
