Stay Home, Watch Films

Did you know that as a Cal student you have free access to thousands of films through Kanopy? UC Berkeley's Kanopy platform offers access to a few hundred high-use films from Criterion, Media Education Foundation, California Newsreel and more. 

Nothing the Student Committee does is possible without support from BAMPFA. Get your independent cinema fix at home with recent releases, new restorations, and more, handpicked for you by our film curators. When you rent through the BAMPFA website, you support filmmakers and the museum.
