Message from the National Film Board
The Silver Wave Film Festival is a truly vital showcase for New Brunswick’s creative community, as well as a wonderfully programmed selection of film and video from the rest of Canada and the world.
The National Film Board of Canada is proud to support Silver Wave as part of our broader commitment to Maritime filmmakers and audiences, one that includes our award-winning NFB production centres in Moncton and Halifax. This year, the NFB is celebrating 70 years of excellence and innovation in filmmaking – we’ve been creating groundbreaking work in documentary, animation, alternative drama and new media since 1939.
To mark this anniversary, we’ve launched a new online Screening Room at NFB.ca, where you can watch and share over 1,000 NFB productions – part of our commitment to making NFB cinema accessible to Canadians everywhere. It’s a great new online destination for Canadian cinema. I invite you to stop by – and start watching. Have a great festival!
Tom Perlmutter, Government Film Commissioner and Chairperson of the National Film Board of Canada
