Kanopy
- Kanopy BASE Collection This link opens in a new window A collection of over 10,000 educational and feature films and documentaries in the Kanopy BASE collection range from core curricular subjects like Race and Class Studies, Sociology and Education, to subjects that cater to the whole student like Mental Health, Psychology and Health and Fitness. Many films on Kanopy—including from iconic suppliers like the BBC, NEON, Samuel Goldwyn Films, HISTORY, A&E, First Run Features Kino Lorber and IFC Films—are unavailable elsewhere.
If you're a student or faculty member, you can use any Kanopy film in your class. Films with public performance rights (PPR) can be used for extracurricular events, like film clubs or social events. Look for this PPR icon in the film details:
Share a Kanopy Film
To share a film or playlist, go to the details page for any film or playlist and select the Share tab. (You may need to scroll down to see this tab.)
Note: To access a film or playlist through a shared link, you need to be a member of the library the link was shared from. For example a CT State Community College Student cannot share a link to a person who is not a student or affiliated with the college.
Here you'll find several options for sharing the video:
- Link: Provides a direct link to the title or playlist details page. Select Copy Link to copy the link to your clipboard, or select an "Email & Social Media" option to share the link through that platform.
- Embed This Video: Generates a link for embedding a video on another website where HTML is supported (e.g., a personal website or a learning management system). Select Copy Link to copy the link to your clipboard. To watch the embedded video, the viewer will need to enter their Kanopy credentials for your institution.
- Citation Tool: Creates citations for films and series in various styles. Select your preferred citation style, then select Copy Text to copy the citation to your clipboard. (The citation tool isn't available for playlists.)
