The Williamsburg Film Festival decided that from time to time to honor someone who is a legend in the keeping the "Movies
of the Golden Age" alive.
We decided to create the Williamsburg Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award to be presented occasionally to that person
that personifies all the qualities that we have come to love and respect in our hobby.
