Does anyone know where I could get ahold of these on DVD? I would love to see the old documenteries that influenced BOC so much.

Ok, let me re-phrase this; does anyone have any of these? If so, which ones would you recommend? (the boccier the better 
)

alot of the old gems (boccier ones) are only on VHS or 16mm/8mm reels, and yes your best bet if you live outside of canada is EBAY. If you live in Canada try your public library. Im in Vancouver and the public library has hundreds and hundreds of NFB films. Pretty much anything before 89 will be BOC like, although alot of the films have no sound tracks. Right now I have a couple at my house but are almost 3 weeks over due..... gotta return those today. I wouldnt even bother searching for ones on DVD. VHS is the way to go for NFB films if you are looking for a weathered tape sound. As for acutal films I would look for ones from 75-85 as that seem to be the golden years of the NFB. Also alot of the drug abuse related films have good soundtracks for some reason.

I was thinking the DVD would take away from that old grainy Boc feel. I wish I had a film projector.

i remember watching tons of these nature and science videos in elementary school. soo boring. also when i was young i would just sit at home and watch these repeatedly for no reason at all. everytime i listen to boc i think of them.. ahh the nostalgia

It would be pretty cool to find the documentary sampled in Dandelion..with Leslie Nielsen's voice over.

Come down to Montreal, we have the NFB projection place. You can decide which movies you want to watch and for really cheap they project it to you.

When I was there I spent hours in those self-contained film chairs. It was the highlight of my vacation.psikotrip wrote:Come down to Montreal, we have the NFB projection place. You can decide which movies you want to watch and for really cheap they project it to you.

I'm not looking for DVDs. I'm looking for links. Anyone know of any on YouTube or Internet Video Archive? I read in a few interviews that they were influenced by 1970's NFB nature films.... I would love to view one of these or something like it.
