One of the most exciting opportunities the Santa Barbara International Film Festival offers is to be one of the first audiences to see the world premiere or U.S. premiere of a film. Not only that, the filmmakers — including actors — are just as excited as we are, and they often show up to do Q&As after screenings, as well as mix and mingle with eager movie fans. 

Here are the summaries of the 30 world-premiere feature films screening at SBIFF. For a complete schedule of screenings, visit sbiff.org or use the SBIFF app.
