(August 12, 2008) Toronto — Veteran film and television director Eric Till, 78, is set to receive the Directors Guild of Canada Lifetime Achievement Award while four of his "protégés," including Denys Arcand and David Cronenberg, are vying for director-of-the-year honours, it was announced yesterday. The seventh annual award show, to be held in Toronto Nov. 8, recognizes directorial, editing and design accomplishments in more than 20 categories in TV and movies, as voted on by members of the DGC. Till, a native of England, has had a decidedly eclectic career since moving to Canada in the mid-1950s. Among his credits are Bethune starring Donald Sutherland, and Red Green's Duct Tape Forever.
