"Denis Villeneuve has masterfully adapted Frank Herbert's classic, first with 2021's Dune and now with Dune: Part Two, creating a visually stunning and narratively complex conclusion to this tale in a manner that has captivated everyone from critics to audiences to devoted fans," said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute. "The Gotham is honored to present Villeneuve - a visionary who has redefined the genre for modern audiences - with The Director Tribute. This recognition celebrates not only his recent accomplishments but also his remarkable journey as a filmmaker, which began nearly 30 years ago and has included such early classics as Incendies, a project we were proud to support through our IFP Week program in partnership with Telefilm Canada."
