-(b. 18/03/1930 – d. Johannesburg, 18/11/1996).  Director, set designer, occasional actor.   The son of Maurits Canes, a Dutch-born diamond cutter who came to South Africa in 1927, George Canes first appeared on the film scene when he played Tokolos in [[Pierre D. Botha]]’s ''[[Die Goddelose Stad]]'' (1958). At the time there was some talk of him directing a feature about prostitution in Johannesburg, but this project didn’t come off the ground.  Instead he took small parts in a number of films and also acted in a stage production of [[The Andersonville Trial]] put on by the [[Johannesburg Reps]] in 1962.  However, his main interest was set design and he worked with a number of local directors, including [[Gordon Vorster]], [[Pierre de Wet]], [[Jan Perold]] and [[David Millin]].  He also wrote and directed two features himself – ''[[Pressure Burst]]'' (1971) and ''[[Next Stop Makouvlei]]'' (1972) – as well as a number of documentaries.  In addition he was art director on films shot in South Africa by visiting filmmakers.  When television finally came to South Africa in 1976, he directed series such as ''[[Drome Van Gruis]]'' (1981) and ''[[Witgoud]]'' (1985).
