Kanopy highlights award-winning documentaries, rare and hard-to-find titles, film festival favorites, indie and classic films (including the Criterion Collection), and world cinema. It provides access to films of unique social and cultural value, films that are often difficult or impossible to access elsewhere and programming that features diversity, with a wide array of foreign language films, films on race, and current affairs. Kanopy’s collection differs from Hoopla; a few titles may be available through both services.
