About Kanopy



What is Kanopy? A description right from the publisher:
Films can be streamed from any computer, television, mobile device or platform by downloading the Kanopy app for iOS, Android, AppleTV or Chromecast.

Offering what the New York Times calls 'a garden of cinematic delights,' Kanopy showcases more than 30,000 of the world's best films, including
  • award-winning documentaries
  • rare and hard-to-find titles
  • film festival favorites
  • indie and classic films
  • world cinema with collections from Umbrella Entertainment, Madman Entertainment, Under the Milky Way, SND Films and thousands of independent filmmakers."
The Friends of Middletown Thrall Library have made a donation to the Library to support streaming services (Hoopla and Kanopy). Their donation to these collections has been made in honor of Gert Mokotoff, Mattie Gains, and Kevin Gallagher.
