Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Film Awards : The Canadian Film Awards, founded in 1949, were sponsored jointly by the Canadian Association for Adult Education, Canadian Film Institute and the Canadian Foundation. Its objectives were to encourage high standards of film-making in Canada, to direct public attention to films which were made in Canada, to provide public recognition for the achievements of Canada film-makers and to encourage wider use of film by corporations, governments and other organizations.

The Canadian Film Awards were reorganized in 1967, and between 1969 and 1972 Gerald Pratley arranged for free showings of winning films across Canada. Previously held in Toronto, the annual awards were held in Montreal in 1973. A boycott that year by Quebec film-makers caused the awards to be cancelled in 1974, but they were re-instated in 1975. An international jury was established in 1977, but was eliminated in 1978.
