Featured producers in Kanopy's collection include the Criterion Collection, PBS, HBO, The Great Courses, the Media Education Foundation, First Run Features, BBC, and many more. Films can be watched from anywhere, anytime by Berry students, faculty & staff. You may also download the mobile app onto your devices and sign into a personal Kanopy account affiliated with Berry College. You would then be free to watch titles on your mobile device or stream it to a personal TV.
