Cinémoi is a television network focusing on film, fashion and international style. It was available in the United States on DirecTV and is now broadcast on Verizon FiOS and Frontier, Channel 236. Originally the channel was dedicated to screening subtitled French movies from the New Wave onwards. And its premium programming currently gives viewers front row seats to an assortment of international titles and festivals, curated vintage to modern movies, as well as green and haute couture content, and an array of glamorous events, including the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet and Closing Ceremony, and the channel's annual International Fashion Film Awards show.
Cinémoi was founded in 2009 by Oliver Bengough of Mint Entertainment. British broadcaster Jonathan Ross joined Cinémoi in December 2010, becoming the channel's creative director and minority shareholder.
Olly Bengough and Cinémoi formed a joint venture with Daphna Edwards Ziman and Rod Sherwood of Multi Vision Media (MVM) to launch Cinémoi in North America on September 17, 2012, broadcasting to over 20 million households, as the first network on DirecTV dedicated to film, fashion, and lifestyle.
The official launch party was held at the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills.
Subsequently, Cinémoi began broadcasting on Verizon/FiOS on January 27, 2014, and has been airing as well on Frontier Communications since April 1, 2016. It’s also likely to launch on additional cable, satellite and streaming platforms in the upcoming year.
Until December 2012, Cinémoi aired in the United Kingdom.
Cinémoi originally screened subtitled French movies for an English-speaking audience. Films were programmed across all genres and periods, from silent films to titles recently released in cinemas. Then in 2011 Cinémoi diversified its content to include fashion and lifestyle programs. The channel also curated seasons on specific actors, directors and themes, such as François Truffaut, Daniel Auteuil and femme fatales. And it won the Cartier Trophy for Intercultural Business Excellence by the French Chamber of Commerce in 2010, and the Coup De Coeur trophy from the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce in 2011.
