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).

Rogers, Tex Rudloff Writers: Michael Blankfort, Fay Kanin, Tom Mankiewicz The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is an honorary organization composed of more than 4,200 motion picture craftsmen and artists. Since its founding in 1927, the organization’s stature has grown internationally until today the Academy provides unparalleled incentive for higher levels of technical and professional achievement among all branches of filmmaking and has become the cinema’s most effective single ambassador. It is widely recognized that the motion picture is one of our most important sources of information, education and entertainment. This, and the constantly rising artistic merit of films produced throughout the world, is due, in part, to the Academy. The Academy is a non-profit organization whose field of activity does not include economic, labor or political matters. PURPOSES The purposes of the Academy are to advance the arts and sciences of motion pictures; foster co-operation among creative leaders for cultural, educational and technological progress; recognize outstanding achievements; co-operate on technical research and improvement of methods and equipment; provide a common forum and meeting ground for various branches and crafts; represent the viewpoint of the actual creators of the motion picture and foster educational activities between the public and the film industry. HISTORY The Academy was organized in May 1927 as a non-profit corporation, chartered under the laws of California. Its 36 charter members included production executives and film luminaries of the time. The Academy moved into its present quarters in Beverly Hills in 1975. The sevenstorey building includes the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, Margaret Herrick Library, Administrative and Publications offices.
