Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) Sets 2023 Dates

Similarly, as the Fall Film Festival season is getting ready to take off with Venice, Telluride, Toronto, and NYFF busily firming up their slates, we presently have a winter awards season that must quit uncovering its dates.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s 2023 fest will occur from February 8 through February 18 it was announced today. As well as sporting various world and U.S. premieres,

SBIFF has progressively turned into the place to be checked whether you have snatched one of those coveted Oscar nominations, with stage tributes, panels, and different exercises highlighting the yearly race for the Academy Awards.

Last year, SBIFF made a total invite return to face-to-face screenings, panels, and events after the pandemic forced a significant number of its events into virtual introductions the earlier year.

For 2022 the festival had 48 world premieres, and 95 U.S. premieres, with honorary awards feted on Javier Bardem, Nicole Kidman, Kristen Stewart, Penélope Cruz, Will Smith and Aunjanue Ellis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Caitriona Balfe, Ariana DeBose, Alana Haim, Ciarán Hinds, Emilia Jones, Troy Kotsur, Simon Rex, Saniyya Sidney, Paul Thomas Anderson, Kenneth Branagh, Jane Campion, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, and Steven Spielberg. DeBose, Smith, Kotsur, Campion, Branagh, and Hamaguchi all happened to win Oscars in fact.

The film’s last lineup and schedule will be announced in January 2023

“SBIFF has long been a place to celebrate and showcase the enduring power of cinema. As we have been confronted with difficult times, film and festivals have continued to be a place for reflection and inspiration. It is with that in mind that we excitedly prepare the 38th SBIFF edition and look forward to bringing the year’s best cinema and talent to our devoted patrons” says Roger Durling, SBIFF’s Executive Director.

The 38th Santa Barbara International Film Festival is introduced by UGG® with official events and screenings held all through the city, including at the historic Arlington Theater.
