McQueen will participate in an awards presentation as part of the 10 Directors to Watch brunch as well as a Q&A about his work creating and directing the project.

“After the creative and commercial triumph of ’12 Years a Slave’ filmmaker Steve McQueen took his place in the international pantheon of great directors,” said Variety Executive Vice President of Global Content, Steven Gaydos. “With the arrival of his new ‘Small Axe’ series, McQueen is again at the center of the conversations about both film as art and the path to a better world.”
