How to Cancel Kino Film Collection Subscription [2026]
Kino Film Collection is Kino Lorber’s subscription streaming service for indie, international, classic, and documentary films. It is available in the United States and Canada. Some titles are not available in Canada.
Official FAQ prices are $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year in U.S. dollars, with no long-term contract. Promo pages often add a 7-day trial for new direct sign-ups. Amazon also sells a separate Prime Video Channel, including a Kino plus MHz Choice bundle around $9.99 a month.
Deleting the app does not cancel billing. This guide shows how to stop auto-renewal.
What Is Kino Film Collection and How Billing Works
Kino Film Collection grew out of Filmatique. Kino Now, the old rental store, is closed. The live service is the monthly or yearly stream, not a disc shop order.
You can watch on kinofilmcollection.com and on apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Fire TV, and Roku. Direct website billing is handled through Vimeo OTT. Technical and billing support for that path is also handled by Vimeo.
Prime Video Channels is a different subscription. Official FAQ says an Amazon add-on cannot be used on the Kino website or Kino apps. FAQ also lists Xfinity X1 as a signup path. Roku Channel Store still lists the service, including under the older Filmatique name on some pages.
Vimeo terms say subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. Purchases, including recurring charges, are described as final and non-refundable. Pause or cancel in account settings. Those changes apply to the next subscription period. In-app purchases are billed by Apple or Google, not by Vimeo.
How to Cancel Through the Website or Account Settings
Use a web browser if you pay Kino directly.
- Log in at kinofilmcollection.com or watch.kinofilmcollection.com/settings/purchases.
- In the upper right, open ACCOUNT, then MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION.
- Select BILLING & SUBSCRIPTION.
- Select MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION again.
- Select CANCEL or PAUSE SUBSCRIPTION.
- Confirm the choice on the next screen.
Save a screenshot. Check Billing & Subscription again so the status shows canceled or paused.
Official FAQ uses the same path to switch monthly and yearly. A yearly change is billed on the next monthly cycle after you confirm. Pause is not a cancel. Pick CANCEL if you want the recurring charge to stop.
If the website has no cancel button, you likely paid through Apple, Amazon, Roku, or Xfinity.
How to Cancel Through Apple or Google
Official iOS help says Kino cannot cancel an Apple plan for you. You must cancel on the device.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
- Tap Kino Film Collection.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
On Apple TV, go to Settings > Users & Accounts > your account > Subscriptions.
On Android
- Open the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Tap Kino Film Collection.
- Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.
You can also use play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. Use the same Apple or Google account that paid. Official Apple TV subscribe help notes that promo codes work on the website, not in the app.
How to Cancel Through Amazon, Roku, or Xfinity
Amazon Prime Video Channels
- Sign in to your Amazon account on a browser.
- Open Account > Memberships and Subscriptions, or Prime Video settings for Channels.
- Find Kino Film Collection or the Kino plus MHz Choice bundle.
- Cancel the channel and confirm.
Official FAQ says this Amazon plan is separate. Canceling the website plan does not stop an Amazon channel, and the reverse is also true.
Roku
- Sign in at my.roku.com/account/subscriptions.
- Select Kino Film Collection or a Roku bundle that includes it.
- Choose Manage subscription, then turn off auto-renew.
On a Roku player, highlight the channel, press the star (*) button, then open Manage subscription. Roku also sells bundles such as Kino with Sundance Now or MHz Choice. Cancel the bundle if that is what Amazon or Roku bills.
Xfinity X1
Official FAQ lists Xfinity X1 as a signup path. Cancel an Xfinity add-on in your Xfinity account under TV or subscriptions, or ask Xfinity support to remove Kino Film Collection. Do not rely on the Kino website for a Comcast-billed plan.
How to Stop a Free Trial Before Renewal
Promo pages commonly offer a 7-day free trial to new subscribers on the website. Terms say a trial is limited and can change. Vimeo terms say the card is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel first.
Cancel through the same path you used to start the trial. Do it before the trial ends if you do not want the first paid charge. Website Billing & Subscription shows the next date for a direct plan. Apple, Google, Amazon, and Roku show their own renewal dates.
What Happens After Cancellation
Vimeo terms say pause or cancel changes apply to the next subscription period. You generally keep access through the time already paid, then the paid library stops.
Pause keeps the account on file and can bill again later. Cancel turns off auto-renewal. Official FAQ presents both on the same screen, so read the button before you confirm.
Closing the website tab or deleting the app does not cancel. Privacy terms also say closing an account can remove access to purchased items. Cancel billing first if you still want the days you paid for.
How to Request a Refund
Vimeo terms state that all purchases, including recurring charges, are final and non-refundable, except where law requires otherwise.
Apple, Google, Amazon, and Roku handle refunds for plans they billed. Kino’s website team cannot change those store charges.
For a website plan, open watch.kinofilmcollection.com/help. Other questions go to kinofilmcollection.com/contact. Official contact notes that direct technical and billing support is handled by Vimeo. No consumer cancel phone number is published on the FAQ or contact page.
Common Cancellation Problems and Solutions
The website has no Cancel button.
You likely paid through Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, or Xfinity. Cancel with that company.
You canceled Kino.com and Amazon still billed you.
Official FAQ treats Prime Video Channels as a separate subscription. Cancel it in Amazon Memberships and Subscriptions.
You paused instead of canceled.
Pause is not a cancel. Return to Manage Subscription and choose Cancel.
You still use an old Filmatique login.
Filmatique became Kino Film Collection. The same email and password still work. Cancel under the Kino account pages.
You bought a Kino Now rental years ago.
Kino Now is closed. That old rental is not the live subscription. Check Amazon, Apple, or the website for an active Kino Film Collection plan.
FAQs About How to Cancel Kino Film Collection Subscription
Q: Does deleting the Kino Film Collection app cancel the subscription?
No. Website billing stays with Vimeo until you cancel in ACCOUNT settings. Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku, and Xfinity plans stay with those companies.
Q: When does cancellation take effect?
Official terms say account changes apply to the next subscription period. You typically keep access through the time already paid. Check Billing & Subscription or the store screen for the end date.
Q: Can I get a refund for unused days?
Vimeo terms say purchases, including recurring charges, are final and non-refundable except where law requires otherwise. Store refunds go through Apple, Google, Amazon, or Roku.
Q: Is there a Kino Film Collection cancel phone number?
Official FAQ and contact pages do not publish a consumer cancel phone line. Use website Manage Subscription first, then watch.kinofilmcollection.com/help or kinofilmcollection.com/contact.
Conclusion
The surest way to cancel a Kino Film Collection subscription is to open ACCOUNT > MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION on the website if you pay Kino directly. Choose Cancel, not Pause. If Apple, Amazon, Roku, or Xfinity billed you, turn off auto-renewal there.
After you confirm, save a screenshot and watch one more statement. When auto-renewal is off, the next recurring charge should not appear, and you can finish any days you already paid for.
