AWARD CANADIAN SCREEN

AWARD CANADIAN SCREEN

The history of Canadian Screen Awards for animation can be said to go back to the Canadian Film Awards established by the Canadian Association For Adult Education in 1949. They were “Film of the Year” honours. 13.

This arrangement didn’t satisfy many in the industry and so the Academy of Canadian Cinema was organized in 1979 and the Genie Awards were established in 1980. A category for animated films was established during the years there were not enough animated films to fill it, live action short films were included. It was then called “Best Theatrical Short Film”

In 1985, the Academy of Canadian Cinema was expanded to include television. Its name was changed to the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. In 1986, the Gemini Award was added to cover the television part of the industry. The animated category was titled “The Gemini Award for Best Animated Program or Series”.

In 2012 the Genie and Gemini Awards were combined to create the Canadian Screen Awards with a category for “Best Animated Short” but no category for “Program or Series”. . As of 2019, Genie/Canadian Screen Awards, multiple winners have been, Marcy Page, 8; Michael Scott, 3; Chris Landreth, 3; Marc Bernard, 3; John Weldon 3. Interestingly, all have worked with the National Film Board.
