American Film Institute announces award winners

Ten top films celebrated.

by Jennie Kermode

The American Film Institute likes to do things a little differently, and rather than vote on a series of awards for different jobs in filmmaking it has revealed a list of ten top films which it considers the best of the year.

"AFI awards is a moment for the most accomplished storytellers of 2013 to pause and be appreciated – not as competitors, but as a community," said AFI President and CEO Bob Gazzale. "Acknowledging their collective contributions to America's rich cultural legacy is both AFI's national mandate and our honour."
