The National Film Board of Canada turned 70 this year. To celebrate this major milestone, they’ve launched a new website. It’s a goldmine of Canadian filmmaking which features over 700 films, both old & new which are all available for online viewing, for free.
From the site itself:

“Our collection includes animation, documentaries, experimental films and alternative dramas. We showcase films that take a stand on issues of global importance that matter to Canadians – stories about the environment, human rights, international conflict, the arts and more. Works that push the boundaries, give a voice to the underrepresented, and build bridges between cultures.”

Seeing such classics such as “The Sweater“, “The Cat Came Back” & a personal childhood favorite “The Log Drivers Waltz” was a trip down memory lane that brought a smile to my face.

Visit the site, experience some Canadian culture & enjoy. I know I did.
