The Outline:
For the “Canuckophile” (not my coinage but a term I happily own), the NFB’s Screening Room is one of the supreme pleasures of the internet. Since 1939, the NFB has facilitated the telling of Canada’s story in its people’s own words and images. Three-thousand films, from documentaries to narrative features to experimental shorts, are available to stream free of charge, even for Americans.
There is, of course, a simpler reason for binging the NFB: The films are very good.
I’m biased but I agree.
Oh ??!
They do have some fun stuff you can’t find anywhere else. But for a long time I tried to use it but bringing that stream all the way down here to Southern California slowed it to a crawl. Or maybe the lines were frozen?
A Photographer friend Ted Grant was the head of the Film Board of Canada for a while. Cool guy. 🙂
