Norman Jewison is the latest film industry icon recognized by the country's postal service, joining Donald Sutherland, Monique Mercure, Mary Pickford, Christopher Plummer, Mike Myers and Denys Arcand.A new stamp released by Canada Post on Wednesday commemorates Canadian film director Norman Jewison, who died in January at the age of 97. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker is the latest movie industry icon recognized by the country's postal service.
"As Canadian as fill in the blank, we've done that since this country was born," comedian Rick Mercer, the event's MC and a friend of Jewison, told the room. Canadian director David Cronenberg, sporting a hat that displayed Jewison's initials, was among those attending the stamp unveiling. He's set to receive the 2024 Norman Jewison Career Achievement Award at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.
Canadian director David Cronenberg, sporting a hat that displayed Jewison's initials, speaks at the Canadian Film Centre, where the stamp was unveiled on Wednesday. The new stamp features a photograph of Jewison front and centre, surrounded by red movie theatre seats. It was shot in the CFC theatre in 2007.
'A little part of the CFC is in the stamp with Norman. So I think it's the perfect ending,' says Maxine Bailey, executive director of the Canadian Film Centre, speaking at the event. In a news release, Canada Post says Jewison selected the image on the stamp and was "closely involved" in its creation.
