The Keystone Award honors the critical role The Film Foundation has played in supporting the work of moving image preservation not only within the United States but around the world. Their championing of filmmakers and films frequently outside of the mainstream, often portraying people and cultures previously neglected by film audiences, has been inspirational. They have ensured that these films will continue to find new audiences and a renewed appreciation for the importance of preserving these vital treasures of our cultural heritage. Their work has been an inspiration to our field.
