After a successful inaugural ceremony last year, once again it is the key goal of Tribute to the Crafts to honor those at the heart of filmmaking, and have exhibited extraordinary work behind the camera over the past year, according to the Cinematheque. The evening will celebrate individuals in 15 categories covering all aspects of filmmaking and will showcase clips from each of their respective films.

The honorees were selected by a prestigious jury of cinephiles, film historians and journalists from the most respected outlets across the country (full disclosure: I was a member of the jury).

The event will be co-hosted by producers/American Cinematheque board members Stephanie Allain (Hustle & Flow, Dear White People, Boyz N the Hood) and Paula Wagner (Marshall, Mission: Impossible 1,2,3, The Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky).

“Honoring the wide array of talent from these extraordinary films is exactly in line with the AC’s mission – this event showcases the achievements of those behind the camera who bring these incredible films to life” said Grant Moninger, American Cinematheque’s Director of Film Programming & Creative.
