The 13th Canadian Film Awards were held on May 13, 1961 to honour achievements in Canadian film.
By now, the young medium of television had dramatically changed the nature of filmmaking in Canada, to the point where the event's host, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation president J. Alphonse Ouimet, felt the need to assure the audience that videotape would not surpass film in importance to the CBC. Television, now occupying filmmakers' attention, brought about a consistent rise in revenue. Its newfound significance prompted the introduction of new CFA awards for TV, with the CBC clinching all the eligible awards.[1]
