How do I organize a virtual or in-person screening for my library patrons?
STEP 1. Choose the film(s) that you would like to show from the list of titles that appear on the newsletters or the Annual program.* Please allow for 5 business days to treat your request.
STEP 2. Send your selections by e-mail to libraries@nfb.ca and include the date and time of the screening. We supply an electronic file (.mp4) of the film for screenings at your library (a projection-quality DVD can be requested).
STEP 3. Upon reception of the film, use your screening equipment to test the film format delivered to you.
STEP 4: To promote your screening, you can find promotional images and summaries of the films on this page, as well as excerpts and trailers. You can mention THE NFB IN LIBRARIES or the National Film Board of Canada when promoting your events.
STEP 5. After the screening, we would appreciate receiving the number of people who attended your event. You can send this information to libraries@nfb.ca.
