Canadian Film Digest Year Book

Editors: Dan Krendel (1971-76), Patricia Thompson (1977-85)

Canadian Film Digest Year Book (1971-85) incorporated the Canadian professional film directory and was the annual handbook for Canadian Film Digest (1971-77), owned and published by Nat Taylor’s Film Publications of Canada, Ltd. Like the Digest’s continuation of Canadian Film Weekly (1942-70), the Digest Year Book continued the Canadian Film Weekly Year Book (1951-70). Initially edited by Dan Krendel, then Patricia Thompson, the Digest Year Book continued to 1986, a full decade after the Digest itself ceased publication. Thompson then purchased the business from Taylor and reincorporated as Cine-Communications, Inc., renaming the annual Film Canada Yearbook (1986-2007).

TAYLOR EDITOR DAN KRENDEL Asst. Editor Jocelyn Drainie PROUDLY WE PRESENT Publishing a journal of this type can be a facinating, oftimes traumatic experience. It does however have its compensations, many and varied, which far outweigh the initial stages of malaise. This edition of our Year Book is a result of the pressure of responsible people in every segment of the industry, who believe that this business has attained its full growth and maturity. Futhermore it is now big and important enough to support an official vehicle for the dissemination of vital, up-to-date information, and, just as important, to act as a public forum for the airing of diverse and controversial viewpoints: a most important ingredient in establishing the credibility of any trade publication. This year we have added a complete section on Canadian Film Production in conjunction with the Canadian Film Awards, which we think you may find most interesting and informative. The contents of this volume are as accurate as our research and available D.B.S. can provide. We think we have come up with the most complete and comprehensive addition to date. None of this could have been possible without the loyalty and continuing support of our many advertisers, and to them we owe a sincere debt of gratitude. We hope you enjoy the new format and contents, and hopefully derive a measure of pratical benefit from our efforts. fcu.| EDITOR PUBLISHED BY FILM PUBLICATIONS OF CANADA LIMITED, 175 BLOOR ST.
