I happened to be at the National Film Board recently at John and Richmond and I was just astounded at all of the wonderful things going on there. Did you know that there are personal viewing stations where you can watch award winning films absolutely free?

Every Saturday at 3:00 PM the NFB hosts Cinema Saturday showing the best NFB animated films for children and families. Cinema Saturday is free for workshop participants or $2.00/person for the general public. On September 17^th the NFB will be hosting the WILDsound Film Festival which shows short films from around the world. It will be facilitated by an industry professional because the object is for the audience to give their honest feedback of the films during a question and answer period. The time is 7:00 PM and the cost is $10.00. The NFB will be hosting the WILDsound Screenplay Festival on September 19^th where you will have the opportunity to see Toronto actors perform new scripts. Your feedback may just help to decide whether the script is ever made into a film. The time is 7:00 PM and the cost is $10.00. The third Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM the NFB presents A World of Shorts – the best films from the Worldwide Short Film Festival. The price is $6.00 for the general public and $4.00 for students, seniors, and NFB members. There are classes, workshops, and more. Check it out for yourself. Just follow the link below.
