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).

120 Through meetings held on the first Monday of each month, September through May, the executive strives to have interesting and informative discussions on current and new equipment, new techniques and problems that may affect professional cinematographers. Several members are instructors at universities and colleges across Canada and the Society periodically organizes special classes for assistant cameramen and others interested in learning the essentials of cinematography. By active and financial support to the CSC, professional cinematographers are able to make their collective voices heard when problems arise in the film industry and possibly find mutually acceptable remedy. Each year the CSC holds an awards function and trophies are presented, to members only, in the following categories: Feature/TV Drama CSC Award Documentary CSC Award TV Commercials CSC Award News Roy Tash Award In addition, and not necessarily each year, the Bill Hilson Award (a miniature Arriflex) is presented to a member of the CSC who has performed outstanding service to the Society or has made a special contribution to the art of cinematography. Also, members have won international recognition and awards including the coveted ‘Oscar.’ MEMBERSHIP Membership in the CSC is divided into the following categories: AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP The applicant must be professionally employed as an assistant cameraman or camera operator or be active ina field directly related to cinematography such as teaching or studying cinematography at a recognised Canadian institution of learning.
