Company 3 TFCA Luminary Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Clyde Gilmour Award)

The Company 3 TFCA Luminary Award, formerly the Clyde Gilmour Award, is an annual award, presented at the discretion the Toronto Film Critics Association as a lifetime achievement award for distinguished contributions to the Canadian film industry.[1] Named in memory of Canadian broadcaster Clyde Gilmour, who was posthumously honoured as the award's first recipient, the award honours achievements in any part of the Canadian film industry, including direction, production, criticism, broadcasting and film festival programming, that have helped to enrich the understanding and appreciation of film in Canada.

Since 2013, the recipient has also been empowered to select an emerging filmmaker to a receive a "pay it forward" grant of $50,000 in post-production services toward the production of a forthcoming film.[2] As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the presentation of the TFCA awards in 2020, no recipient of the "pay it forward" grant was announced that year; accordingly, the 2022 recipient of the Luminary Award was authorized to choose two "pay it forward" filmmakers to compensate for 2020.
