The NFB has made over 60 films available for the low, low price of absolutely nothing over at its website.

Among the B.C.-oriented fare is Anne Wheeler's "Chi", in which the acclaimed filmmaker follows Vancouver's much-missed Babz Chula on an ultimately unsuccesful trip to an Ayurvedic healer in Kerala, India. Vic Sarin's A Matter of Colour is a film-essay on the delicate subject of skin tone, while Emily Carr is one of the three subjects (along Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo) eulogized in the Emmy-nominated "Bone Wind Fire", from Victoria-based Jill Sharpe.

Menwhile, the Straight is excited to host the 14-minute short "Debris", a thoughtful piece of filmmaking about the Fukushima memorial crafted by Tofino artist Pete Clarkson, directed by our old friend John (Aim for the Roses) Bolton.

Enjoy!
