NFB To Celebrate Wordl Animation Day

The National Film Board is celebrating World Animation Day - October 28 - with a 13-city tour of Get Animated!, a series of free public screenings from the NFB's Oscar-winning animation studios.

The NFB is also offering free streaming of two acclaimed NFB shorts on its website through to November 9, 2008.

Get Animated! will showcase new creations from Canada's public producer, for young and old, from October 22 to November 9, 2008. The NFB website provides complete details, along with free streaming video of NFB animated shorts, at nfb.ca/getanimated.

After celebrating the 65th anniversary of NFB animation, National Film Board studios have found a fresh burst of energy, producing works that have garnered international acclaim, including a record-setting 70th Academy Award nomination last year -- more than any production company or organization outside Hollywood -- as well as awards across Canada and around the world. Get Animated! is part of a broader commitment at Canada's public producer and distributor to ensure that Canadians from coast to coast have access to outstanding NFB productions.

Get Animated! free screenings will take place in Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax, as well as five communities served by the NFB's pioneering e-cinema network for francophone Acadian communities, in Moncton, Bouctouche, Caraquet, Edmundston and Kedgwick, New Brunswick.
