M3C 1T3 (416) 429-4100 Director: Gerald Pratley Administrator: Sherie Brethour The Ontario Film Institute was founded in 1969 to encourage the development of the art of the film and to foster public appreciation and study of film history, origins and accomplishments. It was further required to act as a clearing house for information on all matters affecting films in Ontario, in the country as a whole, and also abroad, particularly with regard to education and general knowledge. The Institute is part of the Ontario Science Centre, situated on parklands in the Toronto suburb of Don Mills. It is financed through the Science Centre by the Ministry of Culture and Recreation of the Province of Ontario. As such it is a department of government. It is not affiliated with commercial film companies or interests in any way, but maintains harmonious working relations with producers, distributors and exhibitors. The OFI has three divisions: the Institute itself, which is the reference and information centre, the Ontario Film theatre, and the Ontario Film Archive. The Institute collects, preserves, organizes and makes available documentation on Canadian and international motion pictures — mostly feature films. There is a comprehensive book library, several hundred screenplays, a large collection of soundtrack recordings and tape-recorded interviews with film makers, and a periodicals section made up largely of leading English-language film journals. The Ontario Film Theatre presents film showings covering a wide range of material and has become an established part of Toronto’s cultural life with its seasons of films from abroad, directors’ series, historical surveys and current cinema programs. The auditorium of the Science Centre functions as the Ontario Film Theatre in the evenings. It has 482 seats, translation booths, an ideal stage area for discussions, and a projection booth equipped with 16, 35, 70 mm projectors and the Dolby sound system. The OFT also has the use of three 16 mm viewing theatres at the Science Centre, when required. There is also a Cinema Bar open on those evenings when directors or other speakers attend the showings of their films. Regional Film Theatres have been operating successfully on a regular basis in Brockville, Windsor and Niagara-on-the-Lake, with programs of European, American, Canadian and classic films. The Institute is prepared to assist all communities which desire to start film theatre programs providing facilities are available and local organising committees are formed.
