Film Canada Yearbook

Editors: Patricia Thompson (1986-99), Deborah Tiffin (2000-07)

Film Canada Yearbook (1986-2007) was a continuation of Canadian Film Digest Year Book (1971-86), which had been edited by Patricia Thompson since 1977. She purchased the business from Nat Taylor’s Film Publications of Canada, Ltd., and reincorporated as Cine-Communications, Inc. with the new moniker. Thompson died in 1999, but in the new millennium, her director of advertising, Deborah Tiffin, took charge of the business, reincorporating as Moving Pictures Media but keeping the Film Canada Yearbook name. Tiffin’s final edition was published in 2007. She has partnered with the Canadian Picture Pioneers to preserve the archive of publications and make it accessible to researchers and the wider public. The Yearbook is the final descendant of a lineage that includes Canadian Moving Picture Digest (1917-57) and Canadian Film Weekly (1942-70), and can trace its origins to 1915’s Canadian Universal Bulletin, a single thread of ownership publishing the primary periodicals and annuals of English Canada’s film industry trade press.

Dorothy and Oscar Burritt founded the first film society in Canada. Established in February 1964, this Award perpetuates the unique spirit and dedication of these true film pioneers. After the untimely death in 1999 of Patricia Thompson, who was also very active in the film society movement for many years, the Trustees decided to include her name in this Award. Pat was also publisher & editor of Film Canada Yearbook, and active in many facets of the Canadian film industry. The Award is competitive, and given by its Trustees to an individual or volunteer / nonprofit organization wishing to undertake / start a project designed to enrich and enhance film appreciation, and which will contribute to a wider enjoyment and awareness of film as an art. Mid-April is the deadline for applications to the annual Award competition. The winner of the 36th (2000) Award of $2,500 was Joanna Hilchie, Waverley, Nova Scotia. The grant will enable Joanna Hilchie to do a mock film shoot with elementary school children. The film to be used will be a tenminute dramatic film for children called Lara's Light, produced by Joanna Hilchie in 1998 under the National Institute's Drama Prize Program.
