The Gotham Awards are a prestigious celebration of independent films and filmmakers in the United States.
Established in 1991, these awards honour groundbreaking work in the film industry, with a special focus on independent cinema. The ceremony is held annually in New York City, a city famously known as "Gotham."
Initially, the awards spotlighted films from the northeastern U.S., but over time, they expanded to include international filmmakers, reflecting the global nature of independent cinema.
The Gotham Awards provide much-needed recognition and support to those creating outside the mainstream, helping to shape the future of independent filmmaking.
