By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film WriterChristopher Nolan has been elected to lead the Directors Guild of America, the organization said late Saturday. “Our industry is experiencing tremendous change, and I thank the Guild’s membership for entrusting me with this responsibility,” said Nolan, a well-known champion of the theatrical experience and film stock. Nolan will take over for outgoing president Lesli Linka Glatter, who led the group for four years through the Hollywood strikes of 2023. Since its founding in 1936 when it was then known as the Screen Directors Guild, presidents have included the likes of Frank Capra, George Stevens, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Robert Wise, Michael Apted and Martha Coolidge. Nolan has been a member since 2001 and has served on the DGA’s National Board and Western Directors Council since 2015, in addition to chairing the guild’s theatrical creative right and artificial intelligence committees.
