AVA provides access to a world of European and international cinema from the comfort of your own living room. AVA users can stream a unique selection of arthouse features, world-class documentaries and acclaimed and award-winning short films from a selection of titles not commonly available on other mainstream VOD platforms. AVA works closely with some of Europe’s most renowned film festivals and distributors to curate a unique viewing experience, focussed on quality content and targeted towards the interests of local library users.
AVA Library Switzerland (ch.ava.watch) is a show-case streaming platform with a carefully curated catalogue of 300 films tailored towards the interests of library users in the region.
With the support of our film festival partners and local film experts, we have created Focus Collections with European festival films, collections with regional focus like Latin American or African cinematography, and various thematic compilations, for example a selection of films dedicated to the diversity of female characters or LGBTQ community. Additionally, the carousels on our home page highlight particular areas of interest within the film collection.
Any library or cultural organisation in Switzerland can book and customise AVA Library platform for a particular institution or consortia.
AVA Library streaming services are free, unlimited and ads-free for library users of all member libraries.
