     About the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

     

    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 39 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.

    Sponsors of the 40th SBIFF include: Lexus, Manitou Fund, FIJI Water, DAOU Vineyards, Sonos, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Panavision, Santa Barbara City, US Bank, Yardi, Montecito Bank & Trust, Kaleidoscope Productions, Fujifilm, The Fund for Santa Barbara, ADL Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties, National Endowment for the Arts, Black Market Spirits, American Society of Cinematographers, John C.

    SBIFF 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 highschool 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.
