Reception for the opening of the Robert E. Wise Library
The Guild celebrates 50th anniversary of DGA Awards for outstanding directorial achievement. The DGA successfully champions historic legislation in the U.S. Congress that ensures that when films are transferred to new owners or distributors, directors, performers and writers are legally guaranteed payment of residuals as provided by their collectively bargained agreements. The Guild creates an Independent Directors Committee and participates more widely in film festivals. Residuals exceed $150 million. Robert E. Wise library is dedicated in the Guild’s Los Angeles headquarters.
