MONTREAL – “Canadians are the greatest consumers of video online as well as the greatest users of social networking site Facebook,” said Tom Perlmutter, government film commissioner and NFB chairperson.
“Online is the new public space and as a public institution the NFB has a responsibility to occupy that space for Canadians and provide Canadians with a reflection of our realities. And it has to be a dynamic and interactive experience that is always engaging: for all Canadians and particularly younger Canadians and Canadians from diverse communities. What we’ve done to date is only a start: we will be making a tradition of releasing major new innovations at the start of each year,”
Starting today, 26 NFB films are available in high definition at the Screening Room at www.nfb.ca and as an iPhone app. 1,400 SD films are already available.
The experimental 3D experience will have three pieces of content to start.
