We know there will be something for everyone at our festival \u2013 and likely quite a lot for most. \u00a0Nearly three-quarters of the films we\u2019re showcasing have never been seen before in the U.S. We&#8217;re excited to introduce these films to audiences and thrilled that filmmakers from nearly every continent will be on hand to meet those attending SBIFF, and share in the communal love of film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>OPENING NIGHT<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">SBIFF kicks off Wednesday, February 7 with the World Premiere of documentary <strong>MADU<\/strong> directed by Matt Ogens and Joel &#8216;Kachi Benson.

Like many women artists, Angela started painting later in life, after her children were older and the family business was well established. Angela and her husband own a rare bookstore, and she credits exposure to art books for sparking her interest in painting. Although she studied plein-air painting with Santa Barbara artist Michael Drury, she is essentially a self taught artist.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Group of Seven greatly influenced her early work, as well as many of the Santa Fe artists. A trip to the Yucat\u00e1n had profound impact and motifs of ancient art and popular Mexican art began to appear in her work. Currently her work explores where nature and culture intersect over time and place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike\u2019s FieldTrip to the Movies<\/strong> \u2013 Named for renowned nature cinematographer Mike deGruy, Mike\u2019s FieldTrip to the Movies uses filmmaking to nurture creative, confident, and culturally aware thinkers. This year\u2019s program will be offered to 4,000+ 4th&#8211;6th grade students from Title I (low-income) schools throughout Santa Barbara County.<\/p>\n<p>This year will feature two in-person Q&amp;As; Directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Justin K. Thompson, and Kemp Powers following <strong>SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE<\/strong> and Director Peter Sohn following <strong>ELEMENTAL<\/strong>. Sponsored by Montecito Bank &amp; Trust, US Bank, Yardi, Bentson Foundation, Volentine Family Foundation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Film Studies Program<\/strong> \u2013 The Film Studies Program will invite 30 undergraduate film students from across the country to the Film Festival where they&#8217;ll take part in a packed curriculum that turns the festival into an interactive classroom. Participants receive priority access to the films, panels, filmmaker seminars, tributes, as well as intimate Q&amp;As with filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10\u201310\u201310 Student Screenwriting and Filmmaking Mentorship and Competition<\/strong> \u2013 The 10-10-10 Program is made up of 20 area high school and college screenwriters and filmmakers. This year\u2019s program includes filmmaking workshops, individual mentorship, and access to casting, visual effects, producing and sound mentors. The student screenwriters and directors are paired together and guided through the process of taking a film from script to screen. Sponsored by Kaleidoscope Productions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Filmmaker Seminars<\/strong> \u2013 SBIFF will again present seminars with filmmakers premiering at this year\u2019s festival. These seminars will be FREE to the public and will take place on each weekday during the Festival at Tamsen Gallery at 911 1\/2 State Street.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ADL Stand Up Award sponsored by ADL Santa Barbara\/Tri-Counties<\/strong> \u2013 This award will be presented to a dramatic film in the festival that represents an important message consistent with ADL\u2019s efforts &#8220;to secure justice and fair treatment for all.&#8221; The winner will be announced during the Festival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ASC Award for Cinematography sponsored by The American Society of Cinematographers<\/strong> has been added to the list of SBIFF&#8217;s 2024 awards and will recognize a film with exceptional visual composition that advances the art and science of cinematography and promotes the motion picture as an art form.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>2024 Films<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Below is the list of feature and short films.
