For the first time in festival history, a pay-as-you-go model was introduced for select screenings. The subscriber model that had been with the festival since its first year showed its first signs of changing to meet modern demand. In contrast to today, where every screening has a pay-as-you go option, the earlier festivals relied upon this sense of a community, a large film society that only met two weeks a year.
