This February, keep on streaming Canadian on the NFB's platforms! To bring a little emotion and warmth to these coldest weeks of the year, we're making two new short films-one animated and one documentary-available for free streaming all across the country. You won't want to miss these films that explore the value of sensitivity and human relationships:
- Martine Frossard's animated short Hypersensitive, which screened at Cannes, recounts the turbulent, surrealistic journey of a young woman struggling to rebuild her self;
- and Alexandra Knowles' short doc My Knitting Circle shows how the filmmaker finds warmth in a knitting store during a Yukon winter.
February is also Black History Month, an opportunity to watch classic and recent films on the NFB's newly expanded Black Communities in Canada channel. The all-new Democracy Under Pressure channel, meanwhile, offers a valuable starting point for conversations about democracy in these uncertain times.
And remember: on our online platform (nfb.ca and NFB Apps for mobile devices and TV) and YouTube, you'll find more than 7,000 films available to stream free of charge. They include The Girl Who Cried Pearls by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
