To find films that are available in the TriCollege libraries, you have options both for streaming films and for DVDs.
Streaming Films
Access films we currently have from Kanopy through this link. Log into the Haverford account with your credentials. On the Create Your Account page, choose SKIP. The films you then see on the Browse pages are all available streaming. These films also have records in the Tripod catalog. You can see the full list of Kanopy films in Tripod. You can add another search word to the full list of Kanopy films to find a director, actor or topic.
When you are in the Kanopy database, if you use the search function, you will see many more films featured. However, we only have paid access for the films on the Browsing pages. If you come across a film that says Get Access, check Tripod to see if we have streaming access from a different company or a DVD copy of the film.
Access any of the films we currently have from Swank through this link This will open to the Haverford Proxy page. Sign in with your credentials to access the Swank landing page.
Streaming films are also available from AVON (Academic Video Online) See in particular its collections of New World Cinema (including Scent of Green Papaya) and Sony Picture Classics (including Call Me by Your Name)
