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).

Ongley, qc Pioneer Of The Year Award: In 1952 the C.P.P. marked the Golden Anniversary of the Silver Screen in Canada, dating it from the establishment of the first successful motion picture theatre — the Electric of John Schulberg on Cordova Street, Vancouver, which he opened in the fall of 1902. At the celebration banquet, held in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Schulberg, Jule Allen of Toronto, George Ganetakos of Montreal, A.J. Mason of Springhill, Nova Scotia, L. Emest Ouimet of Montreal, and Fred G. Spencer of Saint John, New Brunswick, were honored as pre-1910 pioneers who had done the most to advance the motion picture as a popular form of entertainment in its early days. Spencer passed on shortly before the banquet and Schulberg, Ganetakos and Allen have died since. The next year, the Pioneer of the Year Award was inaugurated.
