Kanopy offers some hard-to-find period films and “one of the most unique and compelling collections of film on the planet.” Their films range from documentaries, indie and foreign films, must-see classics and blockbuster movies, and their “sophisticated discovery engine encourages our users to challenge themselves to watch films outside of their comfort area.” With hundreds of content providers, you can discover new on-demand programming from PBS, KINO Lorber, Film Movement and Music Box Films, among others. There’s even a Willow and Thatch Top Picks playlist on Kanopy! An Angel at My Table, courtesy Criterion Collection With a focus on “thoughtful entertainment,” you’ll find a collection of arthouse, independent and classical films you can watch on demand on smartphones, tablets, PCs and smart TVs.
Each month, hundreds of new titles are added to the over 30,000 feature films already available to stream – including those from Paramount, Universal Studios, Music Box Films, and the Criterion Collection. It’s the best streaming service you’ve never heard about, filled with “quality, literate” content. Now CEO Humphrey, who has long been passionate about independent film, has parlayed Kanopy’s success in universities to something to benefit the wider community: public libraries all over the US can offer Kanopy to their members, for free. Kanopy made sense: students could expand their horizons and learn through film, and the teachers would have a new way to communicate in the classroom.
Olivia Humphrey was working in media rights management, for BBC Worldwide and others, and had an idea for a new movie platform with a catalog of films that would fill in gaps in the curricula at higher education institutions. Now even if you aren’t a student you can access their vast online movie library – which is home to hundreds of period dramas – for free. Since 2008, the Kanopy streaming service has served as the “Netflix of the education sector,” providing DVDs and online videos to over 3,000 universities and colleges around the world.
