The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) has announced the 39th annual festival will take place in Santa Barbara, CA from February 7 through February 17, 2024.
“We just had a record year with packed houses showcasing over 200 films, and plenty of seminars, panels and tributes, and we hosted the eventual 2023 Oscar winners from 18 film categories; proving once again that the love of watching films in person and celebrating cinema is alive and well in Santa Barbara!” says Roger Durling, SBIFF’s Executive Director.
Official events including screenings, filmmaker Q&As, industry panels, and celebrity tributes, will be held throughout the city, including at the historic Arlington Theatre.
Earlier this year at the 38th edition of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, it celebrated an array of top award contenders such as Oscar winners Jamie Lee Curtis, The Daniels, Brendan Fraser, Key Huy Quan and Cate Blanchett, nominees Angela Bassett, Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Austin Butler, Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu, as well as Jeremy Pope, Jeremy Strong, Danielle Deadwyler and Nina Hoss. It had a program of 200 films from 43 countries and drew filmmakers from Turkey, India, Israel, and Sierra Leone, half of whom were women. Passes to the Festival will go on sale in August at 25% off.
