Board of Education court decision.
Joe DiLallo (B.F.A., computer art, 1997) is the senior technical director for Sony Imageworks, where he has been working on the animated feature "Polar Express."

Andrew Beach (B.F.A., video and film, 1996) is a founding partner of Last Exit LLC, a digital design and software development company.

His work has also led to Last Exit's close relationship with Apple.
The Savannah College of Art and Design operates a number of exhibition spaces that feature rotating displays in a variety of media by SCAD students, faculty, alumni and other artists. Two galleries are running concurrent film-themed exhibitions during the Savannah Film Festival.
"Motion Stills," showing at the Red Gallery, 201 E. Broughton St., features mixed media by SCAD alumni and other renowned artists such as Robert Longo, Slater Bradley and filmmaker John Waters that examine the kinetic nature of an increasingly digitized world.
"Helen Slater as Supergirl," an exhibition by SCAD painting professor Craig Drennen, addresses the current relationship between film and the "traditional arts." Using the 1984 film "Supergirl" directed by Jeannot Szwarc, Drennen's work recodes the film through drawings, paintings, multiples and audio pieces. The exhibition is showing at the Pinnacle Gallery, 320 E. Liberty St., through Tuesday, Oct. 26, with a closing reception scheduled for Oct. 26 from 9-11 p.m.
All exhibitions are free and open to the public. For recorded information on SCAD events and exhibitions, call 525.9999.
