Film Resources

The Viepwoint library subscribes to two products that will allow teachers to stream feature films and documentaries in the classroom, as well as assign films that students can watch on their personal laptops at home.

Streaming Film Products for the Classroom LibGuide

Both products have many of the films that our teachers already show in the classroom. Teachers are welcome to browse through these product catalogs to see if there are films that they would like to use for class.

If you find a film that you would like to show, please e-mail librarian Sarah Davis at sarah.davis@viewpoint.org to ensure that the film has been loaded into our account. It is helpful to contact Sarah at least 48 hours in advance to ensure that the film is ready for viewing and access.
