National Film Board – Lost access to some films
Posted on September 4, 2024 @3:15 pm by ryan regier
The National Film Board (NFB) has lost rights to some of their hosted films and are now actively negotiating to get them back.
Luckily it currently only appears to be a small amount of films that we have lost access to. We are still working to identify which films specifically, but since NFB is still actively negotiating, we don’t have an accurate list.
They hope to get us an accurate list in the next couple weeks.If you come across a film in the catalogue that we have lost access to, please report to eResources.
