Filmmaker and Canadian Film Centre founder Norman Jewison will be honored with a two-night tribute at the Los Angeles 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) on April 17, preceded by a 90-minute panel discussion featuring the director with cast and crew from his films. Film critic Leonard Maltin will moderate the panel.

On April 18, LACMA will screen 1971’s Fiddler on the Roof, which garnered nine Academy Award nominations, including best picture.

‘I am thrilled that the LACMA Film Department is the venue for this tribute to Norman Jewison, who, over the past three decades, has directed some of the most entertaining and provocative films to emerge from Hollywood,’ commented LACMA film department director Ian Birnie in a release, calling Jewison a ‘great story teller.’

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.
