NFB Makes Films Free Online
January 22, 2009
Commentary by Stephen Downes

Something that's long overdue, but no less welcome for it. "The NFB has an amazing collection of Canadian films, and it will begin the process of making them available online for free. So far, it looks like free access will be restricted to Canadians, but we can hope they will open up this treasure trove to the world." Please, NFB, open them to the world. Canadians all know about The Cat Came Back but people the world over should be able to share in this treasure. CBC coverage.
