Stream Films for Class
Where to find movies and documentaries assigned by your professor.
4 steps
1
Start with Kanopy for documentaries and indie films
Kanopy is NYU's primary streaming platform — thousands of documentaries, indie films, and educational titles available on demand.
💡 Pro tip: Check your course syllabus first — many professors list Kanopy links directly. You can also request titles that aren't available yet.

Try Criterion for classic & art films
If it's a classic or international film not on Kanopy, Criterion likely has it with bonus features.
💡 Pro tip: Criterion has director commentary and essays — great for film analysis papers.
