Gazzale, Bob — American Film Institute
Chief Executive
American Film Institute
THE LATEST: The America Film Institute postponed its Life Achievement Award Gala honoring Julie Andrews due to coronavirus concerns. Earlier that month, Gazzale and AFI Trustee Steven Spielberg announced a virtual AFI Movie Club to bring film fans together during the crisis. Last year the institution received a $350, 000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to study gender parity in American film history.
BACKGROUND: The AFI was established in 1967 as a nonprofit educational organization. Gazzale, a film historian and TV producer, became the organization's third president and CEO in 2007. He had been with the institute since 1992, holding positions including director of international programs in New York and director, AFI productions, in Los Angeles. Gazzale has been a writer and producer of the AFI Life Achievement telecasts and has worked on "AFI's 100 Years & 100 Movies" series. He won an Emmy in 2013 for "AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Mel Brooks."
