NFB Films Online
I might be late with this one, but it’s still fantastic news. The Canadian National Film Board is getting some of their films online. I don’t know their reputation outside of Canada, but in it they’re particularly known for their work in the fields of animation and documentary.
Pictured is Pas de Deux, by Norman McLaren (Who I coincidentally mentioned this morning). Other notables include Walking by Ryan Larkin, The Log Driver’s Waltz, and my childhood favourite, the very goofy The Big Snit.

Pas De Deux is probably one of the most beautiful things ever put to film. I bought a McLaren box set about a month before they announced the complete works. Talk about bad timing.

I had the old set too, but I still bought the new one. It’s definitely worth it if you’re a fan.
