MONTREAL – The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has added more than 60 new films available online and free of charge, with more to come this fall.
The content includes several recent documentaries that have won awards in Canada and abroad, by renowned filmmakers such as Alanis Obomsawin, Paul Cowan, William D. MacGillivray and Justin Simms. The films deal with a range of subjects that the NFB says are relevant to the lives and concerns of Canadians, such as refugees and war zones, homophobia and human rights, environmental issues, the living conditions of Indigenous peoples, the challenges of adolescence, and the evolution of urban and rural communities.
The entire selection is grouped together at nfb.ca/new and is almost fully accessible from anywhere in the world.
A different selection of new free films, comprising 50 recent titles, is available in French at ONF.ca (38 titles are available in both French and English on ONF.ca and NFB.ca).
