When writer-director Theodore Witcher’s romantic drama Love Jones hit theaters in 1997 it was a bit of a bellwether, albeit a quiet one. The film about two attractive people in their 20s, a poet and a photographer (Lorenz Tate and Nia Long), and their friends, navigating love, romance and the vibrant Chicago art and music scene, resonated with young black audiences not used to seeing themselves on-screen. For “Love Jones’ ” 20th anniversary, “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins will host a panel discussion with Witcher, Tate, Long, costars Lisa Nicole Carson, Isaiah Washington and others following a screening of the film. Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Samuel Goldwyn Theater, 8949 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills. June 13, 7:30 p.m. $3-$5. www.oscars.org/events
