Absolute Cinema🇫🇷 Version française

Your movies. Any screen.
A plain hard drive.

Plug in your drive, double-click: your collection becomes a beautiful library with posters, synopses and subtitles — on any Windows, Mac or Linux computer.

No subscription. No account. No server to set up. No internet once installed. Your files stay with you, on your drive — the library travels with them.

Demo captions are in French — the app itself is fully bilingual (English/French).

Unzip at the root of your movie hard drive, next to your movie folders (e.g. [Movies] and [Shows] — any name containing “movies”/“films” or “series”/“shows” works), then double-click. You'll need a free TMDB key (2 min, guided in the app) and VLC for playback. Open source on GitHub.
