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).

NEW BRITISH CENSOR AMERICAN BORN Britain's new film censor is an American born moviemaker who says that he is worried by a surge of sadism on the screen. James Ferman has taken over as secretary of the British Board of Film Censors at a time of very intense public discussion over the prevelance of cinematic sex and violence. —_——— “I am not a guardian of public ST. LAWRENCE COLLEGE SAINT-LAURENT morals” proclaimed Ferman in an interview with Associated Press, “‘but | am strongly against sadism and sexploitation in the movies. | can conceive of no society that does not favour the imposition of some limits on what is permissible and acceptable on the screen. ISN’T IT STRANGE? Isn't it strange that princes and kings And clowns that caper in sawdust rings, And common folk like you and me Are building for Eternity? To each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass and a book of rules; And each must make, ere life is flown, A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
