The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has found a new home in Toronto.
The Ontario Studio had been a longtime tenant at 150 John Street (since 1991) but as of December 12, the studio, known for creating world-class audiovisual works, is moving in on the 10th floor at 145 Wellington Street West.
The custom-designed space will feature six digital editing suites, a 20-seat screening room and a virtual reality lab, as well as, be home to members of the NFB’s education, audience development, communications, marketing teams, and NFB’s Canadian Francophonie Studio.
Today’s announcement, supplied to Daily Hive through a press release, makes no mention of reviving the viewing stations previously housed at the NFB Mediatheque — though online screening rooms now have all the Canadian content you could ever wish to consume.
