MOVIES - Feb. 4, 1987

Canada’s first center for the advanced study of film has begun recruiting students and will open this fall, Oscar-winning film director Norman Jewison said in Toronto. Jewison, the principal organizer of the Canadian Center for Advanced Film Studies, said the school is to be modeled on the American Film Institute in Los Angeles and will train students in directing, cinematography and screenwriting. It will start with 12 students and expand to 30 in three years, he said.
