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).

Canada. The licence fees have been collected from theatres on behalf of writers, composers and music publishers since 1966. The fees collected must be approved annually by the Copyright Appeal Board in Ottawa. The courts uphold the fact that it is unlawful to operate a motion picture theatre in Canada without a P.R.O licence for the performance in Canada of its dramaticomusical works during the calendar year 1981.
