AFI asked Amy Adams, Mel Gibson, Donald Glover, Chris Pine, Martin Scorsese, Denzel Washington and many other artists what they’d like to be remembered for about their movies and TV shows, and why movies and television matter now. This AFI AWARDS 2016 video almanac serves as that part of film history. To see photos click here.
