The BFI is awarding director, writer, actor, producer,
author and professor Spike Lee with a BFI Fellowship, its highest honour. It celebrates
Lee’s pioneering body of work over more than 30 years which has chronicled
black lives through bold and inventive cinematic works of art from feature
films and documentary to television, music, commercials and books.
BFI Chair Tim Richards said “Spike Lee has such a distinctive voice
as an auteur, unafraid to challenge ideas of race, gender and class throughout
his career with his unique cinematic style. A true renaissance man and pioneer,
he has excelled in so many art forms, staying original, fresh and as relevant
to contemporary audiences as those who have enjoyed his work for over 30 years.
I am delighted to be celebrating his enormous talent and individuality with a
BFI Fellowship.”
Spike Lee said “I’m blessed to live up to my Ancestors' credo
“Deeds, Not Words”. I thank the BFI for helping
