October 4, 2021 – Montreal – National Film Board of Canada (NFB)
The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has named Osas Eweka-Smith as its new Publicist and Public Relations Officer, based in the NFB’s Halifax office. She will be working on media relations campaigns as well as public relations outreach.
Osas will be working in close collaboration with the Quebec-Atlantic Studio, along with creators and communities across Atlantic Canada. Reporting to Magalie Boutin, the NFB’s Montreal-based Head of Media Relations, Osas will contribute to the NFB’s strong presence serving Quebec’s English-language communities.
The decision to base this position in Atlantic Canada underscores the NFB’s commitment to reflecting stories and issues from every part of country, with an NFB media relations team that now reaches from Atlantic to Pacific and has deep ties to local communities.
The Canadian Francophonie Studio will continue to be served by the NFB’s team of francophone publicists, in addition to the on-the-ground expertise of our freelance publicist Madeleine Blanchard.
She will initially be working remotely from her current home in Alberta, before relocating in January to Halifax, her hometown for more than 10 years, where she will reunite with family, friends and her extensive industry ties in Nova Scotia.

The film screened at Canadian film festivals including the Halifax Black Film Festival, Calgary International Film Festival and the Emerging Lens Cultural Film Festival, where it received Best Documentary and Audience Choice awards.
