Киношник Open

What to watch tonight

Киношник (Kinoshnik) remembers what you have seen and how you rated it, shows new releases and suggests films and series you will actually like.

Free. In the browser it works on any phone or computer. An iPhone app is in the works.

Diagram of the home screen. In the app, this space shows posters and film stills.

New releases and search across all of cinema

What people are talking about, what is in cinemas, what is already out for home viewing and what is coming soon.

  • Films, series and people — by their Russian or original title.
  • Browse by genre and year: popular, top rated or newest.
  • Each poster shows whether it is already on your list and how you rated it.

Your own list and your own ratings

“Want to watch”, “Watched”, “Dropped” — in one tap. A rating from 1 to 10 and a note to yourself: what stayed with you and who you watched it with.

Want to watch Watched Dropped
  • Synopsis, cast, director, trailers and where to watch.
  • One list across all your devices.

Suggestions that learn from your ratings

The more you rate, the better the suggestions. A high rating pushes similar films up, a low one pushes them down. Every suggestion shows which of your films it came from.

  • Suggestions start once you have rated five films.
  • What you have already seen or put aside does not show up in suggestions.
  • Tap “Want to watch” or “Already seen” and the suggestion leaves the list.
