More opportunities for growth... All events are at the Directors Guild of America.  Scroll past the Special Events to see the most up to date schedule.  Keep checking here.  All events are subject to change.  We keep adding great, challenging, and inspiring stuff as we go...

For the first time, you can buy an ALL FESTIVAL PASS (while they last) and gain entry to all the Special Events as well as the screenings. Or you can purchase individual tickets and register separately. But wouldn't you rather have a cool pass to wear that opens every door, every day? Well at least for the duration of CAFF 2007.
