The National Film Board (NFB) has done a lot to make its great library of material available for viewing to the public for free. They have numerous viewing stations at 150 John St. (at Richmond St. West) location in Toronto, and you can view films online at their website, and now there's another way. On your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Yes, the NFB's new app is totally free and very worthwhile. You can choose shorts or feature length documentaries and they load up for streaming very quickly. At a glance, I saw the "Project Grizzly" documentary available and you can skip ahead to any part in the film if you wish... with no lag time.
And naturally, the first thing I checked out was my favourite NFB animated short, Richard Condie's "The Big Snit" which has been a family favourite and a highly quotable short for many, many years.
"Well, pull my lips off. Looks like a bunch of people. Uh, must be some sort of... uh. uh. Is there some kind of parade on or something?"
