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).

mellow magical magnificent Filmmakers use these adjectives and many others to describe Montreal, the Europe next door. They are equally impressed with Montreal’s no-nonsense cooperation with filmmakers. Through a special city agency, CIDEM-Cinema, Montréal provides a one-stop-shop for filmmakers, thereby eliminating red tape. CIDEM-Cinema does everything from scouting irresistible locations to arranging for the closing of public streets. It will find skilled crews for you and even brief you about tax shelter provisions. And that’s the way it should be in the city that hosts the Montréal World Film Festival — the only competitive film festival in America recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations.
