The Canadian Feature Film Database is based on the printed Index (Canadian Feature Film Index) begun in 1972.
The Database based on the Index:
- compiles the principal credits of every Canadian feature film from 1913 to 2009
- establishes a list of Canadian feature films from published information up to 2009
Future updates:
- features currently over 4,300 films
addition of post-2009 films is planned for a future iteration of the database
