By Bonnie Carroll LBN, Photos by Bonnie Carroll

Arlington Artist of the ear Award Timothee Chalamet, American Riviera Award Zoe Saldana, Cinema Vanguard Award Adrien Brody & Guy Pearce, and Montecito Award Colman Domingo presented by Oprah Winfrey. 

 Red carpets were wild as fans of Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande, and Timothee Chalamet went crazy to see them arrive at the Arlington Theatre where they signed autographs, took photos and talked with the crowd waiting to see them.  

23rd SBIFF Women's Panel Attracted Best in Industry

Industry Panels were sensational and included the Animation Panel, Writer’s Panel, International Directors Panel, Producers Panel and 23rd annual Women’s Panel all held at the Arlington Theatre.

Demi Moore, Star of "Structure"

A special interview and showing of the “Structure” starring Demi Moore was followed by a Q&A was done by SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling. Moore has subsequently won major awards, including SAG and AARP awards, for her performance in the heart-stopping thriller following the festival.

Fans Were Crazy For Timothee Chalamet

The crowds were lined up down the street, even during very bad rainstorms, to see the celebrities arrive and walk the red carpet at the Arlington Theater, and local restaurants were packed with movie goers. “Roger Durling SBIFF Executive Director commented on how excited they were to see the crowds who came out in the pouring rain to attend films and special events, and the first time in the festival’s history, tickets were all sold out in advance.

Historic Arlington Theatre SBIFF 

This year also offered some brand-new events and awards, along with some amazing new sponsors, who brought special highlights to the 40th Anniversary SBIFF. The awards ceremony was a special closing breakfast at the El Encanto Hotel, where there were some very happy filmmakers accepting awards and celebrating their work. This year there were so many outstanding international films that made the list and overall it was a marvelous  place to spend another Valentine’s Day in Santa Barbara. Looking forward to 41st!
