The 21st Canadian Film Awards were held on October 4, 1969 to honour achievements in Canadian film. The ceremony, attended by 1,200 people, was hosted by broadcaster Fred Davis.
Because of 1968's selection process controversy, the judging process was again revamped. The pre-selection committees were dropped and one jury composed of an appointed member from each participating industry organization selected three nominees in each category, with the exception of Feature Films and Feature Crafts, which were chosen by an international jury.[1]
The most unusual characteristic of this year's competition was that no theatrical feature film was awarded.[2] Several films whose directors had intended to submit them were not completed by the submission deadline, the few features which were submitted were deemed not of award-worthy quality.[2] [3] There were many other Canadian features which could have been eligible but, due to cynicism, apathy and politics, were not entered.[1]
