New on Blu-ray: ANIMATION NIGHT IN CANADA VOL. 1 - 14 Oscar-Nominated Shorts from the National Film Board of Canada

Animation Night In Canada Vol 1 New On Bluray

Product Description: Long celebrated for its groundbreaking achievements in animation, the National Film Board of Canada has earned international acclaim and dozens of Oscar® nominations for its animated shorts. During a particularly fertile period between 1965 and 1985, the NFB played an instrumental role in the medium’s rapid evolution, breaking new ground with a wildly varied and inventive run of films that are alternately abstract, eerie, entertaining, poetic, poignant, and psychedelic. An eye-opening overview of this seminal period in animated film history, ANIMATION NIGHT IN CANADA, VOL. 1 features 14 Oscar®-nominated classics with style and personality to spare.
