Kanopy is a mediated database, so everything you see when you log in is something we've manually activated. There is more available, but you must request it (reach out to mcalhoun@risd.edu to discuss). We pay $120 for one year of access to each film, so our policy is to only activate films that your entire class will watch.
If you have a Providence Public Library (or Brooklyn/NYPL) membership, you can also access Kanopy through that account, and watch up to 8 films per month for free!
Contact Marc Calhoun, mcalhoun@risd.edu, for support with streaming films and DVD.
