Donald Everett "Don" Shebib (born 27 January 1938) is a Canadian film director. Shebib is a central figure in the development of English Canadian cinema who made several short documentaries for the National Film Board of Canada and CBC Television in the 1960s before turning to feature films, beginning with the influential Goin' Down the Road (1970) and what many call his masterpiece, Between Friends (1973).

dbp:quote
  • I don't know too much about Quebec ... Obviously, Denys Arcand and Jutra and Gilles Carle are good filmmakers. In English Canada, I don't know. Whatever happened to Colin Low? ... He was a brilliant filmmaker, and Tom Daly was a very important film person, and Don Owen and myself. (en)
  • The wonder of Don Shebib is not that he makes good films but that he makes them here. (en)
  • I have no belief in moral right or wrong. That's evident in all my films. That is the basis of my philosophy. Things are good if they're efficient and bad if they're inefficient. ... I don't consider a man who was a Nazi a morally evil person. I never would consider Hitler an evil person. Hitler would make a fascinating film. He's an incredible, marvelous, strange, twisted, mixed up, sick man and he's got as much of everyman in him as anybody else has. That's man! That's man on the screen and people could sit there and say, "That is a human being, and I can relate to that no matter what he's done." (en)
