France has launched an online catalogue of VoD legal offers. Its objective is to promote visibility of the online legal offer of cinematographic works. The tool is available here: http://vad.cnc.fr/
It takes the form of:
- a portal where you can directly search a film and find out in which platform it is currently available and at what price;
- direct links with a number of partners website dedicated to cinema so that when you search a film through your usual search engine, the first results you get will also give you the information about where to buy/rent the movie.
The adopted very user-centric approach in this initiative is very well described in this 2 min clip:

The tool was also presented to the EFADs during the meeting in Berlin on 10 February 2015.
