| MICHAEL MOORE WINS LENI RIEFENSTAHL AWARD |
| 08.31.04 (2:28 pm) [edit] |

BERLIN --The German government announced today that it has awarded the 2004 Leni Riefenstahl Award to controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. The award, named after the Nazi documentary filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, is presented annually to the film director who "is judged by the award committee to have done the most to prevent the spread of democracy and truth through the use of film as propaganda." In his official announcement, the Award Committee Chairman Dr. Helmut Fragenschlager, the Joseph Goebbels Professor of Film and Media Studies at the Freie Universitaet Berlin, said that "the sheer scale of Michael Moore's mendacity approaches his actual girth." As Dr Fragenschlager poignantly noted, "Reichs Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels always said that when telling a lie it is best to tell a big lie. And we can't think of any bigger lies than those told by Michael Moore in his impressive body of cinematic propaganda art." Although Michael Moore is currently on location shooting his next film, "Benedict Arnold: All-American," his agent released the following statement: "Michael Moore is overwhelmed to have been selected as this year's recipient of the Leni Riefenstahl Award. Leni Riefenstahl was, and remains, the greatest influence on Michael Moore's career and life. Indeed, 'Bowling for Columbine' and 'Fahrenheit 9/11' are unthinkable without the ground-breaking work done by Ms. Riefenstahl in 'Triumph of the Will' and 'Olympia.' In conclusion, Michael Moore says that he will dedicate the rest of his life to keeping the legacy of Leni Riefenstahl alive and well." In related news, the French government announced the beginning of a 30-day period of mourning to express national grief at yet another year having passed without a new film being directed by Jerry Lewis.
