Introduced by Jacques Drouin
The National Film Board of Canada have been producing some of
the world's best films (including many multi-award winning animated
films) since its inception in 1939. This programme, especially
picked by Jacques Drouin, pays tribute to some of the amazingly
inspired work to come out of this institution. Many thanks to
Madeleine Belisle and special thanks to the Canadian High Commission
and the Quebec Government Office, London for making possible the
visit of Jacques Drouin.
