27th Sonoma International Film Festival

The 27th Sonoma International Film Festival (March 20-24), as always, leaned into wine and food. The five-day festival curated by Spence along with senior programmers Amanda Salazar and Ken Jacobson, showcased more than 100 films. Twenty-five countries were represented in this year’s lineup of 43 narrative features, 16 documentary features, and 49 short films. “This year, there’s more goodwill and word of mouth about how it was last year,” said Spence. “And so we expanded that.”

The audience award, this year went to Spanish director Patricia Font’s “The Teacher Who Promised the Sea,” which scored five Goya nominations in 2024 and seeks U.S. distribution.
