In December and January, more films than ever will be available free of charge on nfb.ca, with a captivating selection from various NFB studios across the country, just in time for the holidays-and for a while after. New additions include animated shorts using various techniques, including The Flying Sailor, from the Oscar-nominated duo of Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis, and the online world premiere of the Alambic animated shorts collection; the moving short documentary Heartbeat of a Nation, by Eric Janvier, which celebrates Dene cultural reclamation and revitalization; and the return of the beloved NFB Ho Ho Holidays channel.
These latest additions join the more than 5,500 titles already available on nfb.ca, along with our collection of some one hundred interactive works, almost all of which are available for free online viewing. Some works can also be viewed in person in Montreal-Worlds of Ice, by Philippe Baylaucq, at the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan and Plastisapiens, by Miri Chekhanovich and Édith Jorisch with Dpt., at the Biosphere.
