By James Grahame
The National Film Board of Canada is celebrating the one-year anniversary of their online screening room by going HD, with 17 stunning High Definition films.
Matthew Forsythe says, "What an amazing year it has been for the NFB. It’s been exactly one year since we launched the NFB Screening Room – we wanted to make the NFB more accessible to Canadians and the world and the response has been overwhelming and exceeded our expectations in every way."
Their online library now includes almost 1,500 titles. The site has served 3.7 million online film views since launch, with 41% coming from outside Canada. All in all, a fantastic way to share a brilliant Canadian film collection with the world.
