Kanopy gives you free access to thousands of indie films, short animations, documentaries and courses.
How it works
Your library card gives you free access to the Kanopy app, which allows you to stream indie films, documentaries and courses to your phone, tablet and directly to some smart TVs.
You can also stream in your browser (such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox) from the Kanopy website. If your smart TV doesn’t have the Kanopy app, you can stream to a TV using a device such as a Chromecast.
All you need is your library card number.
Apply for a library card now — we can get a number to you within a couple of working days.
