Short Films

As creative concept partner for the 2010 Governor General's Performing Arts Awards, the National Film Board of Canada has brought together some of the country's most talented documentary filmmakers to create signature films that capture the essence of each of the 2010 laureates and serve as a testament to their creative genius. After premiering at the Gala, the films will be made available to all Canadians on the web and in a variety of digital formats.

Premiered at the annual Awards Gala, these vibrant short films are a highlight of the evening’s celebrations.
