After the pandemic began one year ago, cinemas went dark. No more hot buttered popcorn. None of the excitement that comes with watching a highly anticipated festival film combined with meeting the filmmakers for a vibrant post-screening debate. It was a crushing blow, not only for audiences but also for film directors, festivals, and everyone else who makes a living in Canada’s booming cinema industry.
In the face of COVID-19’s unexpected arrival, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) had to navigate many unanticipated challenges. Founded in 1939, the NFB represents all regions in Canada and is responsible for producing and distributing documentaries, animation, and interactive works. Along the way, it’s won countless awards, including 12 Oscars and more Academy Award nominations than any film studio outside of Hollywood.
