The 16th Canadian Film Awards were held on May 8, 1964 to honour achievements in Canadian film.
This year saw 148 films entered, including five features, and the fact that a French-language film won Film of the Year was a tremendous boost for Francophone film production. The awards' international reputation was also cemented, as the gala was attended by 500 people from all over North America, including a large number of international journalists.
The ceremony was moved back to Toronto; its hosts were comedians Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster.Maria Topalovich, And the Genie Goes To...: Celebrating 50 Years of the Canadian Film Awards. Stoddart Publishing, 2000. {{ISBN|0-7737-3238-1}}. pp. 65-67.
