Free Internet cinemas allow you to watch movies on terms that are beneficial for both viewers and copyright holders. The number of such sites, as well as the films presented on them, is constantly increasing.
By placing a movie in a free Internet cinema, the copyright holder is financed by displaying advertising banners on the side of the player, and sometimes also by placing one short video at the beginning of the picture. It is important to note that there are no commercial breaks in the middle of a viewing. For the viewer, the virtual cinema show is free, except for the monthly fee for unlimited Internet, which the user pays anyway.
Some of the film companies preferred to use ready-made video hosting sites, for example, YouTube, as platforms for free posting of their films, organizing official channels on them. These are, for example, Mosfilm (the name of the YouTube channel is mosfilm), Lenfilm (lenfilmvideo), National Film Center, in the past - Centrnauchfilm, Eralash LLC. Also, on this video hosting, the official channels of some paid Internet cinemas, for example, GetMovies (getmovies), are open for free. It is clear that the last of the copyright holders presented relatively little material on his channel.
Those of Mosfilm's films that are not on YouTube can be viewed on the Official Information Portal of the Mosfilm Cinema Concern. It differs from other similar resources in that instead of Flash technology, it uses Silverlight (in Linux - Moonlight). This is especially useful for netbook users - browsing will drain the battery more slowly. But for the owners of most smartphones and tablets, the materials of this cinema are not available.
The site-cinema Now. Ru allows you to view for free only a part of the materials posted on it. To see their list, click on the Free link on the main page of the resource. Basically, the free section presents modern foreign films.
The IVI site owners have the opposite policy. Here you can watch most of domestic and foreign films and TV shows for free. The paid section is auxiliary and is called IVI +.
The free Internet cinema Uravo will appeal to those who prefer to watch movies of the first half of the twentieth century - both voiced and silent. In addition to them, this resource contains educational programs on parenting, geography and literature. A related project of Uravo is the USSR-TV website, which presents Soviet TV programs from different years.
The Zoomby website is positioned mainly as a resource for watching yesterday's TV show if you missed it. Also, in addition to television programs, it contains films, series and cartoons - both modern and classic ones. This resource does not have a paid section.
