About Us

World Movies is Australia’s destination for international cinema, available on channel 430 on FOXTEL and AUSTAR. The channel features foreign film, documentaries, indie flicks, and exclusive access to international movie stars.

With 25 first-run films every month, and over 200 languages, World Movies offers viewers a journey around the world from their own loungeroom.

Since its launch in 1995, World Movies has proven one of subscription television’s best-loved channels. Partnerships with Australia’s most prestigious foreign film festivals, including the Italian Film Festival, French Film Festival and German Film Festival offer the latest news on what’s hot in world cinema.

World Movies is also on the ground at international film festivals such as Sundance, Cannes and Venice, giving up-to-the-minute news on the latest award-winning cinema. Plus, interviews with award-winning international directors and actors offer insights into the latest and greatest in the world of film.

Since 1 August, World Movies has a brand new look. A new logo and new channel style reflects the originality and edginess viewers have always loved. A new channel tagline, Be Moved, invites viewers to enjoy the finest films from around the globe.

Another big change is the introduction of simple weekly themes, making it easier for viewers to catch their favourite films. From award-winning box-office classics to adults only cinema, and action flicks from around the world, weekly genre timeslots provide easy appointment-to-view destinations, whatever your tastes.
