HISTORY: Chartered by the federal government in 1935, the National Film Society of Canada was patterned after the British Film Institute, which had been established the previous year. Grants in 1939 from the British Imperial Trust and the Rockefeller Foundation made pos- sible the establishment of a national office and a circulating film library. Gradual expansion of activity has been made possible by the increase in membership and by the various services rendered for the National Film Board. The name of the organization was changed from the National Film Society to the Canadian Film In- stitute in 1950. FORECAST: During the last few years several national surveys have been made into needed film services, and their recommendations will be implemented as financial support for them can be found. Most urgently needed is an expanded information service, which would include the preparation of a union catalog of films currently circu- lating in Canada and the publication of evaluations, special film lists, and other program aids. With an ever-increasing number of film distribution centers being set up across the country, more ade- quate film cataloging services are necessary.
