Sundance Film Festival: Cool Canuck Clips Play Well in Chilly Park City

The National Film Board of Canada is schlepping an excellent slate of films to Park City this week including the absolutely gorgeous short animated film Madame Tutli-Putli. This hand crafted stunner was licensed at MIPCOM '08 to Canal + France, ARTE, and Switzerland's TSR. Already a winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, this crowd favourite is sure to bring attention to the many other worthy NFB produced films playing this year at Sundance. These films, created with pure passion and commitment, represent some of the finest results socially conscious government funded arts can produce.

Take a look at this clip of Madame to get the cinephilic juices flowing, and check out some of the great coverage of Sundance 2008.
