NFB & OIAF – Canada
- The National Film Board of Canada has put 50 of their films online for free viewing. These are some of the greatest shorts out there, and I commend everyone to check it out.
Caroline Leaf’s three films are must viewing. As are Sheldon Cohen’s The Sweater, Richard Condie’s The Big Snit . . . As a matter of fact, try to watch them all. They’re fabulous films.
Go here for a full listing.
- The Ottawa Animation Festival has listed their accepted entries for the 2006 competition. For a complete list of films go: here.

Ditto on the congratulations, Michael. I should be in Ottawa for at least of the fest, so I hope I have the opportunity to see your film.

That should read “for at least some of the fest.” And now that I know you’re going, I’m looking forward to seeing you again.
