A Tribute to Norman Jewison

April 17 - April 18

On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Film Centre by Canadian-born director Norman Jewison, LACMA will host an evening of tributes by some of Mr. Jewison’s closest collaborators plus an on-stage discussion of his career moderated by Leonard Maltin. One of Hollywood's greatest storytellers and proficient in a range of genres, Jewison was the director of such legendary films as In the Heat of the Night, The Thomas Crown Affair, Moonstruck, and The Hurricane. Confirmed guest speakers to date are Cher, Faye Dunaway, Eva Marie Saint, Carl Reiner, renowned cinematographer Haskell Wexler, and Marilyn and Alan Bergman, the legendary Hollywood composers who provided memorable theme songs to many Jewison films over the years.

Tonight at AERO: Hal Ashby's BOUND FOR GLORY

Wednesday, March 18 – 7:30 PM
BOUND FOR GLORY, 1976, MGM Repertory, 147 min.

David Carradine plays folk singer Woody Guthrie in this superlative bio-pic, which follows Guthrie as he travels across America fighting for the working man. Director Hal Ashby and cinematographer Haskell Wexler (who won an Academy Award for his work) vividly evoke the late 1930's era in which the film takes place, and Carradine gives one of his best performances as a hero to underdogs everywhere. Co-starring Ronny Cox.

Film critic Kevin Thomas will introduce the screening.
