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. A
