Some distributors’ streaming video may not be accessible outside the U.S. Please inquire directly with the distributor. Contact us for rental information and assistance.
The Library cannot fund individual streaming title rentals. Faculty may use course support, or seek funding through your school. Contact Amy Basen (abasen@calarts.edu) for help arranging rentals. Some distributors prefer to deal with only one person per campus. Most streaming rentals are provided through a unique private Vimeo link and password, for a specific duration.

Amazon, Criterion Channel, Hulu, Netflix, etc.
These services offer current films for sale or rent through personal accounts. Libraries are not allowed to license any of their content, nor do they grant rights for institutional or educational use.
When you sign up for an account with one of these vendors, the license you agree to is for personal viewing only, and supersedes copyright and educational fair use. The only legal option for access to these films is to have students rent the films themselves, similar to buying a textbook.
Check the website Just Watch to discover which commercial vendor(s) might be offering streaming access to this type of media.
