Next to the film business, perhaps the most precarious undertaking in Canada is publishing. Of course, we can also say that next to the film business, the most exciting undertaking in Canada is publishing. Which is why we are happy to be here: we have the best of both worlds. We feel that more than simply writing about movies is necessary for the Digest now. We must provide a service to our readers and inform them fully as to what is happening in the world of film, not merely by presenting short summaries, but by in-depth reports. It is not sufficient for anyone involved in film at this time to know a few facts. More facts, and more important, the ‘why’ of those facts, must be presented. The scope of the Digest must ziso change. No facet of film can exist and operate unilaterally: a producer must understand a director’s needs and thoughts, and a theatre manager must understand a distributor’s problems. The Digest hopes to offer background and insight into all aspects of moviegoing, from the idea for a film to the parting of the curtain, We are now at a fortunate point in time in Canada: our industry is expanding at an incredible rate, so quickly, in fact, that no one can possibly describe the situation as it will be five years from now. But throughout this time of building, communication is essential. With your support the Digest intends to become indispensible to those involved in the present and future of Canadian film, as a voice for the industry—your voice.
