Today, a treck through Canadian animation in Art History class lead us through the works of Norman McLaren, Graham Patterson (living and working in Sackville), Amy Lockheart and Elizabeth Belliveau. Through them, we also got a brief overview of the National Film Board of Canada, which has been producing animations since the 1930s.
This reminded me of how awesome the National Film Board of Canada is, and of a recent discovery of mine from its site:

Bear 71, in the words of this The Next Web article, is an "interactive documentary that blurs the line between wild and wired worlds". In it, the documentary film viewer gets to navigate a true-to-life reconstruction of the Banff territory and encounter wildlife in its actual-time location on the map. I'm not sure I'm explaining it clearly, so if you're any bit curious, please be my guest and check it out for yourself. Believe me, it's well worth it and makes you wonder... what will come next, and to what other possible applications could we give this wonderful innovative medium?
