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).

We weren’t looking for awards ...but as soon as we saw the rushes, we all felt we had a winner... and as it turned out, we were right...] worked harder on that film than any I’ve ever shot...maybe it’s because I had more freedom...the director trusted my judgment and used me as his eyes and sounding board...we pored over movies and stills for months, looking for that flat, shallow effect in the images...I used special lenses to capture the same kind of visual texture on film...and we took no chances with film quality, either...we used Eastman Color films throughout— : from first negs to final release prints... and we got Kodak technical assistance whenever we needed it...and it really paid off—not only at the festivals, but at the box office... & and that’s what it’s all about... <.
