“For 20 years, AFI Awards has been a moment to gather artists in one room with a singular goal — to create community over competition,” said Bob Gazzale, AFI President & CEO. “This year we cannot gather but will instead celebrate each honoree by creating exclusive content to be shared with a global audience through AFI Movie Club, shining a proper light on excellence.”
To commemorate each of the AFI Awards recipients, AFI Awards sponsor Audi has created the AFI Awards Audi Scholarships initiative, to provide scholarships in the name of the honorees to women and BIPOC Fellows at the AFI Conservatory — for a total contribution of $250,000.
