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).

Prakash Explorations Program: Executive Officer: Robert Kennedy Information Service: Chief: Mario Lavoie The Canada Council, created by an Act of Parliament in 1957, revised in 1977, to promote the arts, carries out its work mainly through a broad program of grants and services to artists and arts organizations. The Council also has some responsibility for promoting Canadian culture abroad, and administers the Canadian Commission for Unesco and special programs financed by private donations. The Council reports to Parliament through the Secretary of State and appears before the Standing Committee on Broadcasting, Films and Assistance to the Arts.
