The NFB iPhone App is now available

This week, the NFB launched its iPhone app – a Canadian first. The mobile application allows free, full viewing of hundreds of documentaries, animated films and trailers streamed over WiFi, 3G and EDGE wireless networks – a Canadian film and entertainment breakthrough.

The iPhone app is easy to use and loaded with features. It lets you:

*WATCH hundreds of NFB films
*CHOOSE your viewing time: users can preload a film on their iPhone to view at a later time; up to 24 hours later, even without a network connection
*SEARCH the entire collection of films available online at NFB.ca
*EXPLORE films by theme (films for kids, documentaries, animation, etc.)
*SAVE a favourite films list
*TARGET films viewed by people nearby

This new application makes the NFB one of the leaders in the field of digital accessibility.
