FilmBox Art House is a TV network presenting classic cinema masterpieces by filmmakers as Kurosawa, Fellini, Antonioni, Visconti, Hitchcock, Bunuel, Eisenstein, F.W. Murnau and many others. The channel also offers a wide variety of independent feature films from all over the world as well as shorts and animations.
FilmBox Art House is broadcast with no commercial breaks and is carried by DTH platforms, cable networks, streaming platforms and IPTVs across Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

“As we add Finland to the long list of countries where our channels are currently available, we appreciate Ålcom’s recognition of top quality content featured on SPI’s channels and our growing presence in Europe.”
