Air has been set for a special honor at next month’s Gotham Awards. The film, which tells the story of the creation of the Air Jordan brand, will receive the Gotham Visionary Icon & Creator Tribute.
The newly created award recognizes director Ben Affleck‘s film as well as the real-life collaborators on the Michael Jordan shoe phenomenon.
The Gotham Film & Media Institute’s ceremony, this year set for November 27 at New York’s Cipriani Wall Street, represents the unofficial kickoff of awards season.
Nominees for competitive categories in film and TV will be announced October 24. “Both gripping and hilarious, Air is a deeply refreshing reminder to the film industry that audiences respond to smart, original narratives,” said Jeffrey Sharp, the institute’s executive director. “By capturing the dramatic story behind the most monumental partnership in the history of sports marketing, the film highlights the power of knowing your worth and using that knowledge to take the right risks.” Air was released theatrically by Amazon last spring and it began streaming on Prime Video in May.
