   Sorry, I can't oblige.  The work of the National Film Board of Canada is
   frequently magnificent (nor does animation predominate in it, by any
   means).  And despite their name, it is not limited to films.  The books
   "Canada: A Year of the Land" and a similar one -- whose name I've forgotten
   -- showing both sides of the border, intended for the American
   Bicentennary, come prominently to mind.

   My experience with the National Film Board of Canada so far causes me to
   expect great things whenever I hear of a file they've made; my
   disappointments (inevitable with an expectation like that) have been few.  
   Thank heaven North America has an alternative to Hollywood.
