It’s time to start paying attention to Canadian film. The rest of the world already is.
The National Film Board of Canada’s iPhone app, which was released on Oct. 21, is a hit — having been named to Apple’s Top 10 apps list, and notching 40 percent more downloads outside of Canada than in Canada, according to a report from The Canadian Press.
The app, which showcases documentaries and animation produced by the public film distributor, allows users to watch thousands of shorts and trailers on their iPhones.
Among the most popular shorts, according to The Canadian Press, are “The Cat Came Back,” “Canada Vignettes: Log Driver’s Waltz” and “HA-Aki.”
