It’s that time of year again in Santa Barbara when all of the celebrities flock to our coastal oasis from crowded Los Angeles. The Santa Barbara Film Festival, starting earlier this week with the majority of events from February 1st to the 5th, will be showing many Oscar-contender films all over Downtown Santa Barbara. From movie screenings to director’s panels, Hollywood stars such as Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Melissa McCarthy, and Shailene Woodley will be honored at events during the week. Ticket prices range from $15 to $125 for a 10-movie screening pass and into skyrocket into the thousands for premium passes (were you can rub shoulders with the celebs themselves!) With ticket prices starting so low, this event is easily accessible for students to attend and get a little taste of the film festival glamour as we enter the award season.  If you’re looking to enjoy this festival for free, red carpets are set up at the Arlington Theater. Maybe you can even get a glimpse at some of your favorite stars this weekend!
