The 15th Canadian Film Awards were held on May 10, 1963 to honour achievements in Canadian film.
This year saw a new record in film submissions: 175 productions from 44 producers, with the greatest increases in the TV Information and Travel and Recreation categories. As one in five submissions was a French-language film, more bi-lingual judges were added and, for the first time, the Canadian Society of Cinematographers joined the CFA.
The event took place in Montreal and returned to being a publicly-attended gala, hosted by Montreal International Theatre founder Jeanine Beaubien.[1]
