About CineVault

CineVault is a small, hand-picked streaming library of classic films that have entered the public domain.

Thousands of films — silent comedy, German Expressionist horror, golden-age screwball, poverty-row noir — are no longer under copyright. They belong to everyone, and anyone is free to watch, copy, and share them. Most of them are also scattered, badly catalogued, and hard to find. CineVault is a tidy front door to a curated handful of them.

Every title in the archive is verified public-domain. We do not host the video ourselves — each film streams from its preservation copy at the Internet Archive, a non-profit digital library. CineVault is the catalogue and the player; the Archive is the vault.

No accounts, no paywall, no tracking. The library grows slowly and on purpose — a few films at a time, each one worth the shelf space.
