Santa Barbara International Film Festival's 39th edition, featuring over 200 films and sold-out events, runs from February 1st to 17th.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival has experienced an unprecedented surge in ticket sales, with the first five nights of special tributes and honors sold out, and the closing night also sold out. Executive Director Roger Durling attributes this to the recent rain, which has prompted moviegoers to seek indoor entertainment. The festival, now in its 39th year, features around 200 films and events, with many opportunities for free screenings and attendance without purchasing a pass.
