WHAT:	An exclusive video of the American Film Institute’s AFI AWARDS 2016 honorees is now available to view. 28 artists in front of and behind the camera — representing the officially selected films and television programs — were asked these two questions. Their answers were recorded into film history as a video almanac on AFI.com. Why do movies and TV matter so much right now? What do you want audiences to remember about your movie or TV program? This video almanac was filmed by AFI at the private AFI AWARDS luncheon on January 6, 2017.
WHY:	Artists’ comments are recorded into the American Film Institute almanac, preserving our nation’s cultural heritage by providing additional first-hand context for the year’s honored works.
