The 11th Canadian Film Awards were held on June 5, 1959 to honour achievements in Canadian film.[1]
At this time, independent film production was improving and television production in Canada was booming, largely due to the Board of Broadcast Governors' anticipated Canadian Content ruling for television. Several production companies had been established, sound stages had been built; it was an encouraging atmosphere in which to recognize the previous year's filmmakers. The ceremony was hosted by W. J. Sheridan, the president of the Canadian Public Relations Society.
