History

edit

Cinando was launched by the Marché du Film in 2003 as cannesmarket.com, based on the Marché's Guide, a directory of attendees created in 1996.[4][5] It was renamed Cinando in 2007.[6]

Since 2012, Cinando runs a business-to-business video-on-demand service.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the streaming service was utilized to hold screenings in a virtual version of the Cannes Marché in 2020.[8]

Since 2017, Cinando allows its users to upload, search for, and buy subtitles for films with no additional fee.[9]
