Description:

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).

Thanks for helping us continually improve the quality of the Lantern search engine for all of our users! We have millions of scanned pages, so user reports are incredibly helpful for us to identify places where we can improve and update the metadata.

We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

We'te lookin’ good! Performing Rights Organization of Canada Limited, formerly BMI Canada Limited, is this country’s largest performing rights organization. We have affiliated with us more than 9,300 writers, composers and music publishers. It is our job to license and collect performance royalties from the ‘‘users”’ of music — such as film theatres, arenas, clubs, broadcasters, concert halls. These royalties are then distributed to the people who create music: the writers, composers and publishers. Through international agreements we also license in Canada music from outside our borders. Take last year, for example. Variety has issued its list of ‘‘Big Rental Films of 1977’. This reflects the films’ U.S. and Canadian rentals accruing to the distributors. Of the top 13 on the list, we mention 11 here: Star Wars Close Encounters of the Rocky Third Kind Smokey and the Bandit In Search of Noah’s Ark A Star Is Born The Spy Who Loved Me King Kong Oh, God The Deep A Bridge Too Far Recognize any titles? We do! We license in Canada all or some of the music in each one.
