    🕯️Today, we mourn the loss of Canadian icon Donald Sutherland (1935-2024). We've been privileged to work with the New Brunswick-born actor throughout his 7-decade career, most recently alongside his son Rossif in @TheodoreUshev's THE PHYSICS OF SORROW → bit.ly/PhysicsofSorrow

    ⏪ February 15, 1965: The day Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill—uniting the nation under one iconic symbol. 🇨🇦✨ 🙆 ...And the #NFB was there to capture this historic moment. #FlagDay #CanadianFlag
