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).

making films is your job... cutting red tape is ours. Film Liaison Toronto is the red tape short cut in Canada’s film making capital. We provide location permits and assistance, arrange free parking for production vehicles, obtain easy access to City services, arrange police assistance and get the other public agency approvals you need. “At the best of times, a film unit bears a remarkable resemblance to an invading army. Many poorly administered productions follow a scorched earth policy and take every advantage possible, while showing no real consideration for local citizens. But, because of the very nature of our business, film crews must control everything seen and heard around them. In Toronto, with its normal traffic problems and now, with the advent of ‘tow-away zones’, even with our good P.R. track record while filming Running, Middle Age Crazy and Bells, our crew on Utilities was terrified that they would be mounting a camera on one end of a crane while a tow truck was pulling it away from the other. Fortunately, we were blessed with Film Liaison Toronto, Naish McHugh, who made sure things went smoothly for us.”’ FILM LIAISON TORONTO Naish McHugh, City of Toronto Planning and Development Department, 20th Floor, East Tower, City Hall, Toronto, Ontario, MSH 2N2 (416) 367-7570 Bob Cooper, Canadian Film Producer. lun null | | ‘| | | | t 157
