Free streams more app and documentaries iPhone films cartoons short
Like indie films? Documentaries? Animation? Ho, boy, have I got an app for you: NFB Films lets you watch over a thousand movies on your iPhone. For free.
NFB Films includes a Channels section where you can browse various categories, including Documentaries, Kids Cartoons, History
NFB Films streams over 1,000 shorts and feature-length films to your iPhone.
The “NFB” stands for National Film Board, a kind of Canadian PBS. The app taps the NFB’s mammoth library of documentaries, animated films, trailers (for upcoming NFB releases), and more.
All the movies are streamed to your iPhone, but there’s also an ingenious “watch later” option that downloads a selected movie for later viewing. However, these downloads expire after 24 hours, not unlike App Store movie rentals, but that hardly seems unfair.
This could be my new favorite app.
meh. iPhone=AT
Nice – better for my short attention span. Plus, it’s not $15 per download like so so movies on iTunes!!!
The NFB has been a Canadian institution for a very, very long time (established in 1939) and is responsible for some of the best short films and documentaries ever (5000 awards). OK, so I am a Canadian and very proud, but the NFB is a national treasure.
I actually prefer indie films to mainstream blockbusters. This is a good find Rick, can’t wait to try it out later…stupid job is always getting in the way!
The NFB is a huge part of Canadian culture and I’m so glad this app exists so that more people can experience it. One of my local TV providers offers free NFB films on VOD and it’s always great to look back and relive some childhood memories. Almost makes the iPhone worth it…
