The Winter Break is a great time to relax, decompress after a big semester and the trials of the last year, and explore those things you don\u2019t have time for normally. The Libraries offer a great selection of popular films for checkout (almost 5,000!) but sometimes if travel\u2019s in your future having to keep track of a library DVD is more trouble than it\u2019s worth when your free time is on the line. Thankfully the libraries have you covered!<\/p>\n

You may have seen one of our Kanopy Streaming<\/strong> films in your class assignments but did you know there are many films in their collections that fall outside the purely academic? While you may not find the newest blockbusters populating Netflix and Amazon, Kanopy\u2019s got a great selection of important films from cinema history and modern classics. They\u2019re easy to browse and watch, all you\u2019ll need is your usual Loyola login information and you\u2019ll be able to stream their films on any handy platform from your computer to your iPhone! To check out what they\u2019ve got to offer, head over to luc.kanopystreaming.com<\/strong><\/a> and browse their mainpage, search for a film by title or actor, or browse their popular films from the \u201cSubjects\u201d menu at the top of the page.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few examples of the films you will find when you explore what Kanopy has to offer:<\/p>\n

Horror\/Drama
\nA Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<\/em><\/strong>
\nby Ana Lilly Amirpour
\n\u201cStrange things are afoot in Bad City. The Iranian ghost town, home to prostitutes, junkies, pimps, and other sordid souls, is a place that reeks of death and hopelessness, where a lonely vampire is stalking the town\u2019s most unsavory inhabitants. But when boy meets girl, an unusual love story begins to blossom…blood red.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romance
\nIn the Mood for Love<\/em><\/strong>
\nBy Wong Kar-wai
\n\u201cHong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite–until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comedy
\nRhinoceros<\/em><\/strong>
\nby Tom O\u2019Horgan
\n\u201cThe film version of Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist play tells of a French city where the citizens begin to turn mysteriously into rhinoceroses. Zero Mostel creates his Tony-winning Broadway role. Includes the marvelous Karen Black.\u201d <\/p>\n

We hope you explore and enjoy what Kanopy has to offer this holiday season and relax with a good film or two!<\/p>\n
