The Directors Guild of America announced that they’ll be bestowing legendary filmmaker Spike Lee with its highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Achievement in Motion Picture Direction, at their 2022 awards next month.
This distinction makes him the first Black director, and 36th overall director, to receive this prestigious award in the guild’s 86-year history. DGA president Lesli Linka Glatter announced the news on Jan. 19.
Spike and his “40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks” movie company initially broke through with 1986’s “She’s Gotta Have It,” and have since then directed cultural classics like “School Daze” , “Do the Right Thing” , “Mo’ Better Blues” , “Jungle Fever” , “Malcolm X” , “Crooklyn” , “Inside Man” , and “Chi-Raq” .
Last summer he directed and produced a four-part documentary essay titled “NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½” which streamed on HBO Max.
