The Criterion Channel

The Criterion Channel — The Home of Classic & Curated Cinema

The Criterion Channel is the ultimate destination for serious film lovers, cinephiles, students of cinema, and anyone who values the art of filmmaking beyond mainstream entertainment. Built on decades of film restoration, preservation, and archival work, Criterion offers a carefully curated streaming experience featuring masterpieces from around the world, from silent-era classics to influential modern auteurs.

Unlike typical streaming services that focus on algorithm-driven commercial content, The Criterion Channel curates collections with intention and context — spotlighting directors, cinematographers, movements, regions, genres, and thematic explorations that shaped the language of cinema. Subscribers gain access to restored editions, rare titles, festival favorites, world cinema treasures, and masterworks from the most respected filmmakers in history.

The library also includes supplementary features that enrich film understanding, such as director introductions, behind-the-scenes material, scholarly commentary, filmmaker interviews, archival footage, and themed programming not available anywhere else. This makes Criterion not just a streaming service, but a living film school for those who care about cinema as an art form.
