Filmmaker and Canadian Film Centre founder Norman Jewison will be honored with a two-night tribute April 17-18 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in an event organized by the CFC to commemorate its 20th anniversary. The program, co-organized by L.A.-based non-profit Film Independent, includes screenings of Jewison’s Oscar winner In the Heat of the Night (1967), preceded by a 90-minute panel discussion featuring the director with cast and crew from his films. The LACMA will also screen 1971’s Fiddler on the Roof, which garnered nine Academy Award nominations, including best picture.

In all, Jewison’s films have received 12 Oscars and 46 nominations. The Toronto native was feted with the prestigious Irving Thalberg award at the 1999 Academy Awards for his body of work.
