NFB.ca launches
Friday, January 23rd, 2009NFB.ca has finally launched, allowing some of its great catalog of films to be available to the world. Above is Norman McLaren’s Pas de Deux, one of many great ones on the site. Another must-see is Lonely Boy, which I’ve posted here before, but in a sloppily-segmented YouTube version. The high-quality version here seems closer to DVD quality than I would have expected.

Montréalers might also be interested in Montreal by Night, a portrait of the city in the 40’s; 23 Skidoo, a bizarre post-apocalyptic view of the city, and Our Street was Paved with Gold, about St. Laurent Blvd in the 70’s.
Thanks to Montreal City Weblog and Said the Gramophone for these selections.
