My city library talked about adding it but never did, the cost is prohibitive.

I remember when this was on British TV and the TV station proudly announced that they were showing the widescreen version...

kind of weird and annoying when justwatch shows something as only streaming on kanopy.

Because most libraries dropped it long ago, at least of the ones that I have access to.

Complain to your local town board! It's a wonderful resource.

... whose business model turns out to be way too expensive for all the libraries who've terminated the relationship, sadly

Los Angeles County Library system still works with Kanopy. I think I'm watching more there than any other streaming service.

SF Library still has it too, and I've been working my way through Wiseman's films (so far 24/44). Most recently watched Rainer Sarnet's November

Atlanta/Fulton Co library system still offers it too. God, I'd pitch a fit if they ever dropped it.

Probably seen 15 scattershot, but I wish I were disciplined enough to follow through on something like that.

Our Wiseman count is 39 rn.Big recommendation for The Experimental City - newish doc from the director of Pruitt-Igoe Myth and the Jandek doc

watched Andrzej Wajda's Ashes and Diamonds today, it's really interesting

the film was made in 1958 but takes place in 1945. Zbigniew Cybulski’s role as Maciek Chełmicki seems more modern than a character from 1945, in a good way.
Cybulski has been compared to James Dean. I think the film is another example of historical movie-making reflecting the era in which it was made

that's one of a trilogy with canal and a generation. i need to watch them again.
Polanski is in one of them, another has a tiny tank...

Wonder what Projectr is about? Looks like docs, mostly.

Oh, fiction films too. Just got in with my library card.

Some good stuff. JustWatch doesn't even know about it.

Turns out one of my library cards still gets me into Kanopy, seems to have a limited but still okay selection.
