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 cont’d Canada has now become the most lucrative foreign market for U.S. films, in the world. The Motion Picture Export Association has reported that in 1974 billings in Canada were $54.4 million; Italy $47.7 million; Australia $38.1 million; Japan $37.1 million; United Kingdom $36.5 million. Comparatively, our population is considerably less than any of the other countries mentioned above. There is no restriction in the remittance of funds from Canada to the U.S. and that is as it should be. Nevertheless, this commanding figure should auger a greater degree of coOperation in film production and with the proper planning, at a governmental level, it will be inevitable. We may look forward to 1976 as a most interesting year in our business: The theatres and distributors start in what would appear to be a healthy condition. The production segment does not, at this time, share this financial glow but, hopefully, a better year is in store.
