National Film Board now streams to iPhone: I’m cancelling my Cable TV.
If you can recite the lyrics to “The Log Driver’s Waltz”, you may do so now as proof that the National Film Board of Canada is a part of our heritage…
…anyway, the NFB is on the ball: They’ve just released their new iPhone app, which means no matter where you are, you can now watch their films on demand. Immediately, the mind races to recall our favourite title in the catalogue.
Yes,”Waiting For Fidel“, is available in its entirety, both on the iPhone app and on their website. Sure, you could already get Codco on Youtube. This is different. Now you can immerse yourself in an hour of Geoff and Joey’s old-timey antics. The irony will sting a little as you watch the pair talk about socialism in 1974 while vacationing in Cuba, all while you freeze your arse off at the bus stop on the way to MUN.










Log Drivers Waltz! Oh man, I have not thought of that in years. When I was really little it used to scare me. But then, I was a bit of an odd child. It grew on me after a time.
