Title: NFB Makes Films Free Online
Post by: Thorin on January 22, 2009, 11:50:01 AM
Holy crap, the NFB (National Film Board of Canada) has made available online for free a swack-load of its movies from its vaults.

Here's the article that told me about it: http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/2009/01/21/nfb-oline.html?ref=rss&loomia_si=t0:a16:g25:r2:c0:b0#articlecomments (http://www.cbc.ca/arts/film/story/2009/01/21/nfb-oline.html?ref=rss&loomia_si=t0:a16:g25:r2:c0:b0#articlecomments)

Here's the website for NFB: http://www.nfb.ca/ (http://www.nfb.ca/)

And here's the Cat Came Back! http://www.nfb.ca/film/the-cat-came-back/ (http://www.nfb.ca/film/the-cat-came-back/)
And the Log Driver's Waltz! http://www.nfb.ca/film/log_drivers_waltz/ (http://www.nfb.ca/film/log_drivers_waltz/)

This is good news indeed, I'll be watching these and spamming the links to everyone I know tonight.

When will "Rock and Rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%26_Rule#Canadian_version)" be up there (http://www.nfb.ca/explore-by/title/)?

And "The Devil and Daniel WebsterMouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil_and_Daniel_Mouse)"?

(dark childhood.)

Rock & Rule was a Nelvana Production and was distributed thru MGM, so the likelyhood of that coming out for free on the web is slim to none (not to mention the licensing issues you'd have with RIAA).

I haves it on DVD!
