Rai Movie

Rai Movie (formerly RaiSat Cinema World and, even before that, RaiSat Cinema) is the theme channel broadcast by the Rai and dedicated to films.

Launched on the pay platform of Tele+ in July 1999 and subsequently transferred to the Sky bouquet, it became a free channel following failure to renew the contract between Rai and Sky. Rai Movie is Rai's film brand: big Italian and international films with a rich selection of genres and titles, from classics of the past to the success of today, shorts and new works by emerging directors.

Always present all over the world, in places where films are the main focus, the channel proposes numerous appointments with the main film festivals: Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Rome Locarno and Los Angeles.

The products selected are those contained in the Rai/RaiCinema library, and are joined by those purchased, mainly of Italian and European origin, in observance of the indications of the Service Agreement, With reference to foreign titles, an implementation of the services made available by the channel is envisaged. As of next year, viewers will be able to decide whether to watch films in Italian or in their original language with Italian subtitles.
