SUMMARY:Santa Barbara International Film Festival | 41st
DESCRIPTION:The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts and educational organization dedicated to discovering and showcasing the best in independent and international cinema. Over the past 41 years\, SBIFF has become one of the top 10 film festivals in the United States – attracting 100\,000 attendees and offering 11 days of 200+ films\, tributes and symposiums\, fulfilling their mission to engage\, enrich\, and inspire the Santa Barbara community through film. \n  \nSBIFF continues its commitment to education and the community throughout many free educational programs and events. SBIFF’s programs support over 18\,000 kids\, students and families in our local community by introducing film as an art form to young children with programs like AppleBox and Mike’s FieldTrip to the Movies; teaching film analysis to high school and college students with programs like Rosebud and the Film Studies Program; and teaching the craft of screenwriting and filmmaking with Film Camp and 10-10-10 Mentorship programs. Most importantly SBIFF’s programs are always directed towards the under-represented and under-served communities within Santa Barbara County. \n  \nMore recently\, SBIFF secured a long-term lease for the iconic multi-plex at 916 State Street in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. This landmark acquisition and recent renovation of a state-of-the-art Film Center will be a vibrant\, year-round destination that will serve as a central hub for cinema enthusiasts and the heart of SBIFF’s renowned Film Festival. Building on the success of the Riviera Theatre revitalization in 2016 and the opening of its own Education Center in 2019 in the downtown area\, SBIFF continues to strengthen its commitment to the cultural fabric of Santa Barbara.
