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, and world cinema with collections from Kino Lorber, Music Box Films, Samuel Goldwyn, The Orchard, The Great Courses, PBS and thousands of independent filmmakers.
With the motto of “thoughtful entertainment,” Kanopy provides Decorah Public Library patrons with 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 and films on race, and current affairs. For the next month, Kanopy Kids is available with unlimited access, including quality content like Sesame Street, Arthur, and even language -learning series.
Director Kristin Torresdal said, “We’re working to expand digital offerings for the community; we hope that exploring a new film platform will help ease some of the challenges of social isolation and disrupted routines that our patrons are dealing with.”
