Montecito at the Movies

Gwyneth Paltrow takes the backroads to SBIFF’s Riviera Theatreon Alameda Padre Serra on December 5 for a post-screening discussion of her latest film, Marty Supreme, a consensus pick for an Oscar nomination as Best Picture, with Paltrow herself currently sitting just outside the Top 5 for a Supporting Actress nod. Writer-director Josh Safdie’s film, which opens on Christmas Day, stars Timothée Chalamet; an actor with a dream to be “one of the greats” playing a young man with a dream no one respects. 

Also on SBIFF Cinema Society’s crowded calendar for the last month of the year: Song Sung Blue (December 6). The film will be followed by a conversation with writer-director Craig Brewer and actors Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, who star as two down-on-their-luck performers who form a Neil Diamond tribute band. Sinners (December 7), iswidely expected to be among the most nominated movies of the year, and this showing includes a conversation with the film’s writer-director Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed, Fruitvale Station).
