142 The motion picture industry in Canada has at long last shed its swaddling clothes, and is fast becoming a major facet in the entertainment and cultural scene in our country. It has, in effect, reached beyond Canada’s borders, and is making an increasing impression and impact on movie audiences in many countries throughout the world. The various arts and crafts directly involved in movie making in Canada number thousands of highly skilled artists and technicians, ACTRA alone boasting an active membership fast approaching the 5,000 mark. The other guilds, Producers, Writers, Directors, Cinematographers, Editors, Sound technicians etc., swell this total by several thousand more. This section of our 1976 Year Book is dedicated and devoted in its entirety to film production in Canada, and a complete listing of the dedicated men and women who keep the production scene a lively, busy, exciting, and hopefully, rewarding one.
