TORONTO - The Canadian Film Centre will cap a series of 20th anniversary events with a two-night tribute to its founder, Norman Jewison, in Los Angeles next month.
The tribute kicks off April 17 with a panel discussion involving Jewison and a group of film stars at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The centre says the 90-minute discussion, to be moderated by film critic Leonard Maltin, will be followed by a screening of Jewison's 1967 movie `In the Heat of the Night.'
The next night will feature a screening of the director's 1971 classic, `Fiddler on the Roof.'
Jewison founded the Toronto-based centre in 1988 as a way to offer emerging filmmakers training programs in film, television and new media.
Its 20th year was also marked by Toronto events including the centre's annual barbecue last summer and an auction last month.
