With the Emmys done and dusted (including a couple statuettes being taken home by Lucy and Desi), we’re now fully in the swing of the 2022 awards season! This morning, the Gotham Awards announced their full list of nominations for 2022 and we’re delighted to see so many familiar faces and friends honored in the mix.
Like us, the Gotham Film and Media Institute works tirelessly to nurture independent voices within the media landscape, and it’s thrilling to see so many of the artists we champion on their nomination list. From past Sundance Film Festival premieres like The Territory and All That Breathes to Sundance Institute–supported projects including Dos Estaciones and Aftersun, the 2022 Gotham Awards will be a great reunion for our films and filmmakers.
Below check out the full list of Sundance Institute–supported nominees and make sure to root for them on November 28, 2022 when the winners will be unveiled. And if you’d like to know more about the programs and initiatives mentioned in this list, click here.
