This streaming service has titles covering various educational topics and feature films for some 800 producers including Criterion, Documentary Educational Resources, New Day Films, Media Education, California Newsreel, PBS, and others.
Kanopy Film Library is a streaming video resource with a primary emphasis on documentaries, but also features feature-length domestic films and foreign cinema, as well as educational series. The Kanopy interface is dark, modern, and presents itself like a streaming service you might use at home; the splash page provides recommendations and divides films into dynamic categories, but it may be easiest to browse by subject.
You may stream films in the classroom, for ICE events, or for club use. However, admission may not be charged for events or clubs. This is per our license agreement with Kanopy.
Users may also download the mobile app onto their devices and sign into a personal Kanopy account affiliated with USC Aiken. You would then be free to watch titles on your mobile device or stream it to a personal TV.
