Frankly airing this at midnight is a huge “screw you” to the filmmakers.

Why isn’t the CBC airing more NFB material? Decades of petty infighting maybe?

Thanks Philip for the NFB link. What a great short film. I highly recommend it.

At midnight! We have but one lonely Oscar and we air it at midnight?
No wonder many Canadians know that the NFB has won tons of Oscars but that NOBODY has really seen them….what a shame.
