Following a screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark on Friday, March 28, SCA students and alumni took over the Norris Theatre on March 29
and 30. Following each screening, guests enjoyed receptions in the adjacent Queens Courtyard.

For the first time, a faculty jury presented an Artistic Award at each program, and a selected professional jury chose the top films to be screened at a final awards ceremony at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) for an "invite only" event on April 2.
