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).

SBaSAaA SEB EBB RRB SRS SRR RB BRR SLAs A DREAM CAME TRUE IN TORONTO The world’s largest cinema complex in the world’s largest shopping complex 1S SCREERAE AT EATON CENTRE A showcase for fine films from around the world Cineplex is ‘a dream that came true’, not only for us, but for every producer whose well-received picture did not, for economic reasons, get a Canadian showing. For every distributor who wished for a smaller auditorium in which to extend his run, or give a good film a chance to catch on. For every discerning moviegoer who wondered why so many internationally-lauded films never make it to Toronto. With eighteen auditoria from 50 to 130 seats, Cineplex makes a lot of things possible. Our computerized box office system allows patrons to buy tickets in advance for each day’s performances. A comfortable lounge and restaurant seats nearly two hundred people. We’ re at the north end of the fabulous Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. Indoor parking and the subway right at our door. Cineplex is indeed ‘a dream that came true’.
