Nevins to get Gotham tribute
HBO's doc-master Sheila Nevins will get a tribute at the 18th annual Gotham Awards on December 2. She joins fellow honorees Penélope Cruz, Gus Van Sant and Melvin Van Peebles.
"Sheila has unquestionably been one of the most influential forces in documentary filmmaking," said Michelle Byrd, Executive Director of IFP. "She is almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing documentaries into mainstream popular culture. Her work has not only changed the documentary landscape, it's opened minds and spurred change."
