"Film Evaluations." Evaluations of 500 films distributed in Canada. (Supply restricted) "Food for Thought." Journal of CAAE, published eight tinies a year. Regular articles on film use. $2.00 a year PERSONNEL: No persons are hired by the CAAE specifically for film services. HISTORY: The CAAE works very closely with the National Film Board of Canada, the Association of Film Councils, and the Canadian Film Institute. It is effective not so much by providing a specialized film service as by advising and assisting with the use of films in all aspects of the adult program. The Canadian Film Awards are presented each year to honor the producers of outstanding motion pictures in Canada, theatrical, non- theatrical, and amateur. This project is now administered jointly by the CAAE, the Canada Foundation, and the Canadian Film Institute. CANADIAN FILM INSTITUTE (CFI) Executive Director, GORDON ADAMSON 142 Sparks Street 3-6259 Ottawa, Canada Founded 1935 Members: 65 public libraries and film councils; 39 busi- ness firms; 38 film societies; 38 voluntary organiza- tions; 20 government departments; 15 universities and school boards; 88 individuals (information services) AIM: "To encourage and promote the study, appreciation, and use of motion and sound pictures and television as educational and cultural factors in the Dominion of Canada and elsewhere." ACTIVITIES: Production: The Institute is one of the co-sponsors of Canadian Film Awards, which annually provides public recognition for the achieve- ment of Canadian film makers. The awards also encourage high standards of film making, direct public attention to films made in Canada, and encourage wider use of film by corporations, govern- ments, and other organizations. Distribution: A national circulating film library has been operated since 1939. Approximately 5,000 films are available for loan, in- cluding the collections of many different government information services. Through its relationship with public libraries and univer- sities operating local and regional film services, the Institute's films are conveniently available to borrowers in many parts of Canada. Duplicate copies of films are also deposited for circulation with member film libraries throughout the country. The library does not ship films outside Canada. 51
