Arlington Theatre
A 1931 movie palace in Spanish courtyard style, its ceiling dotted with stars to mimic a night sky, and the main venue of the film festival.
A landmark old theatre on State Street, its interior is designed as a Spanish village square, with balconied 'houses' on either side and a ceiling studded with stars. Today it is a venue for film screenings and performances. Each February, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival holds its awards ceremonies and premieres here, where Hollywood stars can be seen. Visitors may only enter with a performance ticket.
