Current Emory students, faculty, and staff have access to a wide variety of streaming video resources, from documentaries to music to popular studio films. While not a comprehensive list, these are some of Emory’s most popular streaming services:
Academic Video Online (AVON): Best for documentaries in history, art, and other humanities.
Kanopy: Mixture of Hollywood blockbusters, global cinema, and popular documentaries. Some highlights include a number of films in the Criterion Collection and selections from The Great Courses.
Swank: While primarily used for Course Reserves, Swank has a selection of Hollywood films, and even some recent releases!
Film Platform: Modern documentaries with a social justice and politics emphasis.
