Summary: Two excerpts from footage of the International Documentary Association awards ceremony at The Directors Guild of America, Los Angeles, on 13/2/2003, in which Michael Moore (the host), introduces Arthur Kent, who presents the award for Preservation and Scholarship to Roger Smither, Keeper of the IWM Film and Video Archive.
Description: The footage, taken from a single camera pointed at the podium, opens with documentary film-maker Michael Moore's opening remarks at the ceremony, then cuts to some 90 minutes later for the Preservation and Scholarship Award, presented by documentary film-maker Arthur Kent. Arthur Kent introduces the IWM Film and Video Archive by showing a 3 minute showreel prepared by the IWM (not seen) and then presents the award to Roger Smither, who makes a short acceptance speech. This is briefly followed by a response from the host, Michael Moore. The footage ends part-way through Moore's next anecdote.
