TVN Entertainment will serve as the exclusive distributor of Eurocinema^sm, a VOD service that, beginning Oct. 15, will offer a slate of European theatricals and short films.

Launching with 12 hours of content, Eurocinema^sm will feature a number of films never before seen in the U.S., as well as a library of titles culled from the vaults of some 20 global distributors.

Programming will be structured around specially themed two-hour blocks, which include a feature film as well as the supplemental content found on most DVDs, including director commentary, original documentaries and cast interviews. Each block is available individually at $3.99, and content will be refreshed monthly.

TVN's VOD fare is available in Adelphia, Cablevision, Charter, Comcast, Insight and Mediacom systems nationwide.
