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).

CREED OF VARIETY On the reverse of each Variety member’s membership card is in‘scribed the following creed. . . a good one for all of us to keep in mind. “Good fellowship means when accounting Man‘s worth when his busy life ends, Not by dollars and cents do we judge him, But by number and worth of his friends. Variety claims you as brother Be loyal through thick and through thin, Then on lists of life’s lasting friendships, Be sure to count each member in.” SSE ED
