Films: NFB.ca Launches Today


"NFB.ca is the National Film Board of Canada’s new online film site that puts hundreds of animated films, documentaries, and experimental films back in front of the people that created and paid for them."

quote: DRAWN!

I just finished watching a documentary called "Carts Of Darkness".
"Murray Siple's feature-length documentary follows a group of homeless men who have combined bottle picking with the extreme sport of racing shopping carts down the steep hills of North Vancouver."

Blog: Videos with Bibi


Now it is official - Bibi has started a video blog obviously called Videos with Bibi! For many of us it is no secret that Bibi of Bibi's Box has uploaded loads of films to Google Video. We are talking classic quality film, classic cult movies, historic silent films, old cartoons, artsy experimental shorts and films that quite simply are in public domain. So far, on the blog, we can watch for example: Kurosawa's Rashomon, Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, Fritz Lang's M, Murnau's Nosferatu, Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The man Who Knew to Much by Hitchcock. How's that for a lesson in cinematographic history? It doesn't stop there. We get to watch animated Gulliver's Travels by Dave Fleisher, early 20th century funny trick filming, semi-documentary German films from the 20s and WWII stories by John Ford and John Huston. And more. You can't expect me to tell you everything, can you? Look for yourself!
