Clever Group Launches Cinemaraton Play, a Multi-Screen Romanian Film Platform
Clever Group announces the launch of Cinemaraton Play, a multi-screen platform dedicated exclusively to Romanian cinema, which will debut on 1 December 2026 as a digital extension of the Cinemaraton television channel.
Clever Group has announced the launch of Cinemaraton Play, a multi-screen platform dedicated entirely to Romanian cinema. The service will be available starting 1 December 2026 and is positioned as a digital extension of the Cinemaraton television channel, with the aim of bringing domestic productions to a format accessible across multiple screens.
The new platform complements Cinemaraton's television offering with a digital space designed specifically for audiences seeking Romanian cinema. Through the multi-screen model, users will be able to watch content on different devices, according to their preferences, without being tied to the traditional broadcast schedule of a linear channel. The focus on an exclusively Romanian platform sets it apart from general streaming services, whose catalogues typically include productions from around the world.
The press material does not reveal the size of the film catalogue the platform will offer, nor how the titles will be organised. Subscription prices, or the existence of a free version, have not been made public, and the same is true of any packages or trial periods. For interested users, details on access and terms of use will therefore need to be clarified by the official launch.
No partnerships, funding sources or content licensing agreements have been communicated either, elements that would be relevant for understanding how Romanian films will reach the service in the case of a platform dedicated to national cinema. No reactions from film producers, distributors or other industry players are included in the information available so far.
The material was published in the sponsored section of Profit.ro dedicated to company communications, and the announcement of the launch date remains the only officially confirmed element. The launch fits into the broader trend of television channels expanding their online presence through their own platforms that give audiences access to content on multiple devices. How the project develops in the coming months will show whether Cinemaraton Play can build a stable audience and an offering broad enough to sustain a service dedicated exclusively to Romanian film.
