Note: AtlasShorts does not allow you to create playlists or clips, and you cannot embed content in your Canvas course. However, you can link to either individual films or groups of films from your Canvas module or add them to your Reading List.

You can browse to find content from the homepage. Use the drop-down menus to browse for content via countries of origin, genres, partners or tags. Drill down to find individual videos, or groups of videos, and select an individual video to view it.

You can also use the search tool to look for videos by title, director, actor or keyword. Select an individual video to view it.
