A few months ago I decided to sign up for email blasts from the NFB.ca. Over about 6 months I would get fairly regular updates on things they were putting on the site, but none really caught my attention. Tonight I decided to take a look and found this amazing sub-channel of the NFB…

Two of my favourite short-films from National Film Board of Canada are Blackfly & The Cat Come Back. This site is chock-full of entertaining & educational films.

jeeves:
Imagine your hometown never changed. That no one ever grew old or moved on. Part book, part film, part family photo album, Welcome to Pine Point unearths a place frozen in time and discovers what happens when an entire community is erased from the map
This is the state of the art of storytelling: ‘Welcome to Pine Point’ by The Goggles of Vancouver is a beautifully personable and...

National Film Board of Canada?
Hopefully now you have a better idea!

I love the National Film Board of Canada, it’s a fantastic service and one of the many reasons I have a love for Canada. Also… for you iPhone users out there, you can download their app and watch their movies on your phone for free. I recommend starting...

Arthur Lipsett's 21-87

f-f-t-t:
A landmark experimental film from the NFB; 9:40 min; stream below.
21-87 is a difficult film to categorize: it is certainly experimental (in the most fundamental meaning of the word); it is abstract, in that it is a film constructed of found-footage from the cutting room floor of the National Film Board of Canada in 1962-63; it is vague, in...
