MONTREAL – The National Film Board of Canada has launched a new short-film SVOD channel on Vimeo.
Effective immediately, short-film buffs can discover the newest and best NFB-produced documentary and animated shorts, on demand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on their computer screens, mobile devices, tablets or smart TVs. The service is available in French and English.
The NFB Shorts page is priced at $4.99 per month for unlimited viewing. Films will also be available for purchase à la carte, priced individually at $1.99 for a streaming rental or $3.99 for download-to-own.
The first selection contains 14 recent NFB films that were highly acclaimed at festival screenings, five of which are available online for the first time. NFB said that the selection will be expanded periodically, with three new films added every two weeks. As a bonus, one of the newly added films will always be available for free streaming, so film fans can discover some of the best cinema Canada has to offer without paying a cent.
