The Craft of Directing


The Directors Guild celebrates the craft of directing by showcasing the talent and knowledge of its members through events like the 75th Anniversary Gamechangers, special features in the DGA Quarterly magazine and in-depth interviews in the Visual History program.

75th Anniversary

DGA King Vidor The DGA has kicked off a year-long celebration of the Guild's 75 years of protecting and extending economic and creative rights of directors and their teams.

The theme of the anniversary year is "Game Changers." Throughout 2011, the DGA will hold events honoring directors whose impact on film and television forever "changed the game" and influenced generations of filmmakers that followed. DGA Quarterly will publish four special anniversary issues focusing on different game-changing periods in DGA history.
