If the film has already been leased, it will be available for viewing by anyone during the lease period. These films are all genres - from documentaries to movies and training videos - and touch on a broad spectrum of topics. The platform features include captions, transcripts, clip/playlist creation tools, etc. In order to create playlists/clips you need to create a free account once in Kanopy.
