« The nearly five-minute film [How to Be at Home] has become the breakout star of The Curve, a collection of short films commissioned by the National Film Board to capture life in Canada during COVID-19. It has been viewed more than 55,000 times since it was released in September [2020]. The topics of the 20 short films in the series so far span everything from cycling through the empty streets of Vancouver to a young man's coming out to his family. 'Every artist had carte blanche to make a piece of art,' says Julie Roy, director-general of creation and innovation at the NFB. Filmmakers were given two directives: Whatever they made, it had to be in some way about life during the pandemic, and they had to follow local health guidelines while making their films. »
